My son absolutely loves his Muay Thai classes. Coach Nav is patient, encouraging, and excellent at building both skill and confidence. Sessions are well-structured, safe, and fun, and I’ve seen a real improvement not only in technique but also in discipline and self-belief. My son always leaves feeling proud and excited for the next class. Highly recommended.
This gym is excellent for beginners and advanced, has a variety of classes, ranging from kids to adults , female only, 1-1’s etc. Trainers are well experienced, and will tailor sessions accordingly. There is a ring which is great for sparring. Boosts ur confidence, great cardio burn and classes spread out over the whole week. Definitely recommend.
Started muay thai again after 15+ years, so starting as a beginner. The atmosphere in this gym is phenomenal! very warm and welcoming for beginners and experienced fighters alike. The coach is very knowledgeable and very thorough. He shows great understanding and is patient towards all level of fighters. I also encouraged my 7 year old son (who was completely alien to the idea of combat sports) to attend a class to see if he would like the idea of muay thai & he fell in love with it and asks me every day when can we go again. this is my second week attending and i CANNOT fault this gym and its trainers. i will certainly continue to attend regularly. I would highly recommend you try out first strike!
I’ve trained at First Strike Muay Thai for 6 years and it’s shaped everything I know about fighting. The training is structured, high quality, and great for all levels. Head coach Nav is knowledgeable, friendly, and pushes you to improve. If you want real Muay Thai and real results, this is the place.
10/10 experience. Went to all females class for the first time, teacher was great. Nav is such an amazing teacher. Definitely recommend
