I tried Chonburi Muay Thai and that was nearly five years ago; I have been with Bruce since! Bruce is from Thailand, raised amongst the true Muay Thai culture and he remains loyal to those roots. Class is fun, challenging, and supportive. Students are proficient at varying levels and this helps all of us to both learn and teach, simultaneously. Additionally, this fosters a cohesion with the students and the atmosphere is more familial in feel. As a female, I have always found Muay Thai to be empowering and my skills have been much improved since training with Bruce. This has fostered a confidence that is priceless. I really urge you to try out Chonburi. The first class is free so there is absolutely nothing to lose!

As someone who's been around gyms in Middle TN for over 6 years now this is the best and MOST…read moreauthentic Muay Thai gym in Nashville let alone all of TN. Very friendly environment and a big facility to learn in. I recommend training with Kru Bruce to any adults and children wanting to learn, from beginners to advanced practitioners! My first time there I was immediately impressed with the gym and Bruces methods of teaching a beginner like myself. Kids classes are usually held in the front half of the gym. I highly recommend bringing your little ones to learn Muay Thai, as it's not only proven to help with physical health but improves psychological well being in young children as well. Learning to have confidence and to be independent in decision making but also learning team work along the way. 10/10 will not be training anywhere else as long as CMT is here!

Breck offers two weeks of free training, an opportunity that can't be beat. Come check Leviathan out!

Coach Dave Dow, a former Muay Thai fighter, with significant international experience in Thailand…read moreand Japan, teaches students of almost all age ranges (4 and up). I am an adult student. I am a rank beginner, and I got to kick and punch in my first class. Coach Dave is a great instructor. Gentle and firm. He taught me how to put a headlock on one of my classmates who towered over me (well, my classmate was nice enough to bend down a little, too!). He pushes me, and I sweat freely by the end of class, leaving cortisol behind and swimming in endorphins. He manages classes with students of significantly different experience and strength levels. I added Muay Thai classes to my weekly weight training, and the moves--foot work, elbow throws, and knee throws--add so much extra training of my other muscles. They challenge and improve my balance and core and have boosted my physical confidence like crazy. We also spar in class, which I never expected to like, but my classmates are thoughtful and engaged in trying to maintain good form and getting better with our moves - they have all been super helpful in observing my form and providing constructive observations as we spar. I highly recommend Coach Dave Dow's classes. If you live in Murfreesboro, Coach Dave's place is right across from the Lascassas Pike Kroger and right beside Papa John's Pizza. Check out the website for more information.

I had done some training in Huntsville at other gyms, but they weren't exactly on par with what I was accustomed to. That's why I've decided to make Arsenal my home gym. They train hard & they actually try to match you up with other students that will challenge you. At Arsenal, they won't try to match you up against a 12 year old like another gym in town did to me while I was there. Prices are on par with other gyms here in town, but they also offer a wide variety of classes. The support here is great & I've always felt right at home. I honestly believe this is the best gym to train at in North Alabama.

Great Teacher, Great Studio and Family Fun!…read more Mr. Thornton is a really good martial arts instructor. He is a 7th degree black belt and 8 time world champion with many lessons to share. He is fun to spar with and learn from. He has a good sense of humor and makes you feel like family. Mrs. Thornton is a 5th degree black belt and is also a fun instructor to learn from. She has a playful sense of humor and is very knowledgeable. She also runs the Little Ranger program for the kids under 5 years of age. In my opinion this is one of the best gifts you can give your children. It's not all about just fighting, but also learning perseverance and discipline, while also boosting confidence. We should all want our kids to have the best tools to navigate this life. If you've been thinking of getting your kids or yourself into martial arts, this would be a great place to come. They also give a free trail week if you want to see if this is for you.
