I have been training at Corona Muay Thai for about a year. This place is special! From the moment I walked through the doors, I have felt welcomed by the even most advanced students there. Whether your primary interest is fitness or competitive fighting, there's a place for you on the mat to reach those goals. You won't find egos here, just a diverse collective of people with a lot of heart. Kru Roy and his students are patient and encouraging. Kru Roy's curriculum is intentional and grounded in the fundamentals. This not only provides an opportunity for new students to join at any time, but allows students to revisit and improve their technique. Come sweat, learn, improve, laugh, and achieve with us. read more

Corona Muay Thai Academy is an amazing gym and community. I don't have a single bad thing to say about training here. Kru Roy truly cares about his students--he's not just there to teach techniques, but to push you to bring out your best every session. Unlike some gyms where coaches just clock in for a paycheck, Kru Roy goes above and beyond. He takes the time to correct your form, motivate you, and make sure you're learning the art of Muay Thai the right way. Classes are structured but also very welcoming for all levels, whether you're brand new or experienced. The energy in the gym is motivating, and the people are supportive, which makes training here something you actually look forward to. Kru doesn't let you slack either--he'll make sure you're getting a full workout in every time you step on the mats. If you're serious about improving, whether for fitness, self-defense, or competition, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! read more

I'm an older guy and finding CMT and Coach Roy has been a game changer for me. Coach is amazing, he is so incredibly knowledgeable, inspiring and patient. It doesn't matter what level of background you are coming in as, from beginner to experienced, he knows how to encourage and teach you. The culture he has created is just wonderful. The facilities and the other students all reflect the values of Coach Roy ( as well as his secret weapon, his wife Nat). read more

Corona Muay Thai Academy is the best there is #1 in my books, they have a welcoming atmosphere, skilled and attentive coaches who provide detailed instruction, a supportive and family like community of fellow students , and a well structured curriculum suitable for various experience levels, and a special shout out to Kru Roy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! May your new age bring more joy, success, and strength, Oowee!!! read more

I cannot rave enough about this gym. Safe, clean, encouraging, kind, and teaches great techniques. I was looking for something for my mental and physical health. I tried many different kinds of gyms, but this one checked all the boxes for me. I was hesitant due to a concern of being judged, something I have experience with in gyms as a mother over 40 with no fight experience. But it doesn't matter what your age is, gender, or experience: This space is respectful and puts technique and safety at top priority. Even when sparring with the fighters who represent the gym, they read my ability and spar with me at my level. Last but not least, the teacher, Kru Roy, and his wife Nat who run the gym carry the vibe. Kru's passion for the sport and energy keep everyone moving, even when we think we can't anymore. I'm addicted to this place, I love it here, I enjoy the community, and have made some really amazing friends. read more

For a number of years I was going to a kickboxing gym, which shut down during the pandemic; when things opened back up, I found this lovely place. Initially I went in with hesitation because I had only worked on a bag instead of partnered with another person, and the gym is mostly comprised of male students, but everyone, both instructors and students, has always been accommodating and helpful without being condescending or intimidating. There's no "gym bro" vibe here, just kind, knowledgeable people who practice and teach the sport safely and intentionally. The space is clean, there's good communication all around, and class sizes are capped to make sure everyone can train with a proper level of attention. There's an ethic of training at your partner's level, so I've never felt like I'm being thrown in the deep end. I've learned so much here, I absolutely recommend it! read more

Great environment, great people, great Coach, and super clean By far the best training experience in the county read more

Really great folks at Corona Muay Thai. They've got a friendly culture with no egos, just excellent instruction and lots of smiles from staff and students. This is the best place to train I've found hands down! read more

Incredible envoroment, everyone is very nice, extremely positive and supportive, Master is very knowledgeable, very supportive, always makes sure you are doing it corectly. I always leave feeling great after an amazing workout there. read more

I started Muay Thai with Kru Roy a few years ago. He is the reason I fell in love with the art. I have traveled a lot over the past few years popping in to classes in different cities and nothing compares to his training. I feel spoiled and I would recommend Corona Muay Thai to everyone (and I have). In addition to Roy, the people that go to this school are a pleasure to work with! read more

After I first moved to LA this place quickly became my home away from home. I love the team and Kru Roy is the best! If you're a beginner or a seasoned fighter you'll love this place! read more

I train with Coach Roy when I am in LA for school. I first found his gym for a more active lifestyle though I had never thrown a single punch before. My first day, his class was a room full of trainees. Sweat-drenched, working hard with music and energy high, an encouraged look in people's eyes and Coach Roy overseeing each individual with care and high standards for basic technique and form, yelling 'don't give up!' I put on some gloves and haven't stopped for over a year now. One thing I felt most from his class was the automatic empowerment for everyone in there no matter who you are, where you come from or what your day has been like. As a female starting in Martial Arts, I (at first) thought they wouldn't be as tough on me but no, not in Coach Roy's class. If one is here to push themselves, they will be. That's it. Automatic. Some days of training feels like the scene from Wonder Woman in the Amazons, people preparing for battle. It's that empowering. When not in LA, I train in Paris & New York. My first day at one of those camps, an instructor looked at me and asked if I had ever done this before. He gave me some drills and I performed with what I knew from Coach Roy. The instructor realized this was, indeed, not my first time - allowing me to train with their Fighters ever since (as opposed to the "Female Fridays" class). This was the point I realized what I learned from Coach Roy was truly valuable, empowering and worthwhile anywhere in the world. Also, while training away, they told me I had to first show them what I was capable of. 3 rounds sparring 3 bigger guys were intense, I didn't know if I could finish but Coach Roy taught me to never, never give up. What got me through all 9 minutes was remembering those feints and footwork, etc. that Coach Roy kept drilling in LA. Because he values basic technique, I was able to tap into that when I was not sure how else to protect myself, execute my attack, not quit and finish that fight. That was the second instance I realized how true Coach Roy's teachings were and now I can train anywhere because of his foundations and not feel like a beginner anymore. Other than my experience at my other gyms, no where has been like Coach Roy's. I speak from a female perspective with ambitions to one day compete in fighting. I used to keep bothering Coach Roy since the start to match me in a fight. He always smiled, believed in me but didn't move forward yet because he values timing and preparation. There were times I wouldn't understand why he wouldn't just advance me already. I would vent to my other coaches abroad how my home gym in LA wouldn't let me fight yet. As fight champions themselves, they said how much RESPECT they had for my home coach, Coach Roy, for responding that way to my goals and believing in the right time to get a student their debut fight. He looks out for this students this way. Anyway, training martial arts at Corona Muay Thai Academy is rewarding for anyone whether you just want to get into shape, live a more active lifestyle, find a community that cares about each other's well being or if you want to champion your life in anyway and learn some Muay Thai. read more

Dope facility and environment to begin with and most of all a world class instructor KRU Roy who is an excellent teacher that will train and push you to be the best you can be whether it's fighting or just all around fitness read more

The location: Great space. Located right in the heart of the NoHo Arts District it's easy to find, is brightly lit by natural light and has a front and back door that creates the perfect amount of airflow when training, and best of all, has easy parking behind the building and on the street! The staff: Amazing. Very kind and helpful. They work with you to provide you an excellent experience. The Kru/Instructor: Kru Soroyan is super talented, knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled in Muay Thai and boxing for Muay Thai which I'm finding is a HUGE competitive advantage (something that other gyms' Muay Thai programs often lack). He has a track record for both getting people fit by his intense conditioning and awesome combinations during padwork, and for creating great fighters. Whether you're a beginner, amateur, or pro fighter, he gives the attention, assistance, and reliable feedback to those who need it throughout the entire class, making sure you are able to learn and get the training you need while meeting you at your level. His fun and friendly personality creates a positive, upbeat atmosphere and checks all egos at the door providing for safe space to feel comfortable learning and to grow. All in all, I would recommend this Corona Muay Thai Academy in a heartbeat! read more

First time visitor yesterday. Great Muay Thai training, great school set up, and great equipment. Somehow I came out smelling fresher than when I came in. It was that clean!!! read more

A great Kru is passionate about the art of Muay Thai and truly wants to help their students to become the best martial artists they can be. A great Kru is dedicated and knows just the right formula to motivate their students with encouragement, sufficient challenges and guidance. A great Kru helps their students define and reach goals, shows respect, knows how to have fun, is a great example to their students, has integrity and an indomitable spirit, is selfless and gives their students solutions. I am pleased to say that my Kru embodies all of these qualities. Thank you, Kru Corona, for being a great Kru. Three years and 10 fights with you in my corner, and still counting. While I've had an incredible amateur fight journey with Corona Muay Thai Academy, I am so excited to see what we accomplish together as a professional fighter! read more

Where do I start? .. new to the area.. was looking for a "gym" to get in better shape finally saying to myself enough is enough.. ended up signing a "gym membership at a "fitness center" went for umm maybe two weeks consistently then one week afterwards.. then once a week, then once a month .. then well you get the point... Months go by and I get the urge again to get in better shape. Here we go again... realizing the "fitness center" approach was not for ya boy I looked to explore other options.. then baaam!! It hits me ..Crossfit!!! Yea Crossfit is what I need!!!! (Runs to Yelp) perfect there's a gym 0.7 miles away from the house. Literally the next day I'm on my way to get information for the crossfit gym and I over hear these kids in the elevator talking about some Jujitsu moves they Jus learned. I ask them "where do you guys train!?" They reply! "Right up the street.. u should check them out". Hmmmm naw I've NEVER considered learning any martial art (no particular reason) jus never crossed my mind. Cool.. leaves my building walking down Lankershim and I notice this is the place the kids were taking about. Hey wouldn't hurt to stop in for a sec. perfect timing Brent the BJJ instructor was jus closing up but was more than willing to give me information about the free introductory classes. The following day was Muay Thai .. I showed up, not having a clue what to expect, needless to say it was nothing short of Awesome!!! Unfortunately I had to leave town the next day for 3 weeks. Ironically KRU ROY reached out to me jus to follow up the day I got back in town and invited me to another session. I came in for another session and the rest is history!! ABSOLUTELY LIFE CHANGING!!! I'm gonna train for the rest of my life! I'm 1000% addicted. This is the place for me, EVERYONE here has been so cool, patient and willing to help you along. No matter what level you are or how long you've been training.. you'll fit right in comfortably. KRU ROY is so knowledgeable in the art and he's bless with the gift of teaching without you feeling like you're being taught.. crazy right!? I know!! I feel like I'm getting the best of both worlds, getting in better shape and learning a skill at the same time. I'm goin Into my second month of training here and I feel like I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. So looking forward to each session. Oh did I mentioned I'm 42!!! read more

Kru Roy is one of the instructors who taught me all I know of the art of 8 limbs. He teaches authentic Muay Thai and his technique is right on point . I have trained at other facilities and with other instructors but in my opinion it does not compare . If you are looking for a great workout or a new gym to call home and fight, look no further . No ego exists in this gym, everyone here is family . read more

I've trained one on one with Soroyan Corona for 5 years and in that time I was pushed further physically and mentally then I thought possible and became the strongest both physically and mentally in my life!

He will push you past your limit and will have you so exhausted at the end of training that you'll be crawling out of the studio! Corona Muay Thai will push you to be a stronger and more confident person while teaching you the most beautiful, fierce art of Muay Thai! read more

I have the utmost respect for Kru Roy, he is always finding the best ways to grow and challenge himself. Corona Muay Thai is a place for fighters and those who would like to train alongside fighters. If you're in the Arts District, go check this spot out, you will at the least get a very technical training session. If you want to train under someone who has fought and continues to train daily, go see Kru Roy. He is a savage. read more

Absolutely great place. Very clean. Great location. The Muay Thai instructor Roy is the greatest. Works super well with you. His knowledge for his craft is on another level. And he genuinely loves what he does. I've been coming here for about a month and I know it's going to be long term. read more

I have studied and trained under Roy for 3 years now. He is the best trainer I have ever had. His technique, his desire to see me succeed, his constant pushing me beyond what I think are my limits, are all reasons I make sure to train with him when I am back in LA. Plus, he's not a bad dude to have your back if you need it. He starts out as a trainer and then he becomes a friend. That's just how it works. It's family there. The sky is the limit for him and what he can do with you. Doesn't matter your skill level. The quicker you get there, the quicker your butt gets kicked, the quicker you hate it, and then are immediately glad it happened! read more

Corona Muay Thai Academy is outstanding. Roy has an incredible amount of experience: he's been a fighter; he's trained in Thailand; and he's been a dedicated teacher and trainer in Muay Thai for years. He brings all of this knowledge and experience to every class, and he creates an environment where everyone feels excited to learn and to train hard. Every class has first time students training alongside seasoned fighters. Everyone works together and gets their sweat on. It's a positive and encouraging environment and that's because Roy really cares deeply about the Art of Eight Limbs. If you want to learn self-defense, lose weight, train to become a Muay Thai fighter, or just burn 1,000 calories and have a helluva great time doing it- Corona Muay Thai Academy is the place to go. The gym is super clean too with brand new equipment. read more

Muay Thai is a fantastic discipline and the instructors I've had show a real commitment to that discipline. And while I have had very positive experiences with those instructors, none have matched Roy Corona's dedication, expertise, and passion for the art. As a professional fighter himself, he has mad skills that top anything I've seen before. Nicest guy I'd never want to piss off. But at the apex of these skills is his incredible ability to teach those skills to others. His attention to detail, his patience, and passion for the art are just some of the attributes that make him a great teacher of Muay Thai. I started taking Muay Thai as a "workout." But Roy's instruction and enthusiasm has led to a more deeper desire to master the craft. Okay, so this review was meant to recommend the school, but Roy is the school and makes the school and if you're searching for the best of the best, you've now found it. Everyone at the school, including those taking the classes, are helpful, supportive and fun to train with. There's an incredible chemistry and comradery at the school that can't be beat. In case you missed it, I recommend Corona Muay Thai Academy above all others. Aaron Garcia read more
