Muay Thai America

A friend (Richard) told me about MTAG so I gave Kru David a call was really cool and friendly, he told me to come in for a free class and loved it!
The workouts are great and intense, not to mention the guys are really cool with each other nobody thinks they are better and treat you good. I’ve been to other gyms where you can tell the experienced ones are not too friendly. I came here in June of this year for a month or so, unfortunately I lost my job so I stopped coming. Now I have a job and back again time to get in shape.
If you want to get in shape I greatly recommend MTAG!

Cozy little gym. I met these great people through their Muay Thai program at LACC earlier this year and they have been very welcoming. Kru Santi & Kru David are excellent coaches and really enjoy what they do. The instruction provided here is top notch & you get an awesome workout to go along with it. I recommend this gym to anyone that is interested in learning Muay Thai.

Kru Santi and Kru David are very friendly and welcoming! I joined this traditional Muay Thai gym with two of my sons (ages 12 & 7) this month.
This is a family environment that welcomes you as a friend the second you show up! Men, women and kids all learn, sweat and train here. The established members are also willing to help as you train. There is no need to feel intimidated, as you can train & learn at your own pace. But be ready to SWEAT and suffer for the entire class.
The schedule allows for training late mornings, early afternoons and evenings, Monday-​Fridays and two class times Saturdays. Kids have their own classes MWF from 5−6pm and they will be sweating as they have fun learning Muay Thai!
I was a collegiate football player, started lifting weights consistantly at age 13 and am 40 now. I can run 7miles, cycle 35miles and swim for 30min at a time– BUT NOTHING compares to the full body cardio and strength workout from a Muay Thai America class!
If you think you are tough– be ready to become humbled by a butt kicking fun M-​TAG workout!!! Leave your ego at the door and embrace the «Muay Thai» culture!
Have your own boxing gloves (all members) and shin guards, mouth pieces and cups for adults. Bring LOTS OF WATER to stay hydrated.

My 16 year old daughter and I signed up for Muay Thai classes at West LA College because, after reading the course description, it sounded like fun to us. We had no idea what to expect but we figured we would walk away with a couple useful self defense moved, at the very least. We are now on our 3^rd session and plan to enroll in the 4^th once this one is over! So far we have learned to hit stronger and smarter. We have learned defense and evasion moves. We have learned how to kick. Which is something I don’t do every day, so it really takes practice.
Coach David Huey is the instructor and also a coach at MuayThai America Gym in North Hollywood. He is an amazing instructor! He breaks the moves down so everyone is able to learn. The class is large but I like that he keeps us busy instead of letting us stand around to wait for our turn. He is an extremely positive instructor but is willing to correct his students so we learn the right way.
My daughter and I look forward to class and what new kicks or hits we are going to learn. We both feel like, should we ever need to, we could handle some situations that before we would have no idea how to handle!!! I highly recommend you try it! The West LA class is very diverse in age, gender and ability!!! I highly recommend Muay Thai at West LA College or at Muay Thai America Gym!!!

As a 1^st time Muay Thai student I didn’t know what to expect and was intimidated at first. I signed up for the LACC class that teaches the technique of Muay Thai combined with a cardio workout. Kru Santi and Coach David and the team from MTAG inspire you to do your best at the same time drive you hard with respect– they are committed to providing you quality training with care and safety. No need to be intimidated, it’s a welcoming environment whether at the LACC/​WLAC class or at the MTAG gym– you’re encouraged to do your best… I quickly became addicted to learning. I not only see the improvement in my skill, but I see the transformation of my body at the same time– best workout ever… I can’t wait for each class!
MTAG takes the title for best gym experience ever!

MTAG is a great gym to go to for Muy Thai. I started at LACC where Kru Santi and Kru David and their staff teach. All of the instructors are knowledgeable and safe. It is truly a total mind/​body workout! I recommend it!

One of my favorite places to be, is Muay Thai America! This is a great gym full of such nice people. I have been to couple of other Muay Thai gyms and this is far the best! I wanted to do a different workout and happened to see the Los Angeles Community College (LACC) catalog for enrichment programs. I saw the Muay Thai course advertised and thought it would be fun and interesting to learn! It certainly has been! Not only was I working out a sweat but I learned a lot of techniques and made new friends. Kru Santi, Coach David and the Team are very welcoming and patient since I am a slow learner, they never let me feel intimidated or out of place. They teach one Saturday a week at LACC during semesters or you can go to their gym in North Hollywood. I would definitely recommend checking out it for sure.

We were looking for a workout that will give us satisfaction afterwards. Trying Muay Thai for the very first time was scary, not to mention intimidating. But good thing we tried and join their class at LACC. Sure enough after a year we kept going and going and going. It’s very addicting just like riding TATSU at Magic Mountain lol!!! Kidding aside, Coach David Huey and Kru Santi Sakkomkai as well as their whole team are extremely knowledgeable of the art. They selflessly taught us no matter if you’re new or old students. So, don’t look no more… go visit their gym or join them at LACC and West LA College. We’re confident you will like it
More power to MTAG!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST GYM! I was always curious about Muay Thai but felt intimidated to actually try it out. I found out they were offering basic Muay Thai classes at LACC so I figured I’ll try it out and loved it. Kru Santi and Kru David are great teachers. I learned a lot in such little time it’s amazing. They are so caring and will work with you on your weakness without feeling like you’re just another student. They genuinely care about you learning the art.
Their gym is about an hour away from where I live so I tried a different gym in my area. I didn’t like it at all so I started going to MTAG. With other gym, I didn’t learn much and felt like an outsider. In short amount of time at MTAG, I felt like I was part of the family. Everyone is so great in helping out you won’t feel like an outsider at all. You’ll feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this gym to everyone. Whether you have no idea what Muay Thai is, just like how I was, or you wish to further develop your skills, this place is for you. Trust me! You’ll love it.

If your looking to get in shape and learn the art of Muay Thai this is the place to be. I have trained with lots of professionals and let me say Coach David Huey and Kru Santi are the best out there they both have lots of knowledge and will get you where you want to be. I really enjoy training at this facility it has changed my life. If your looking to compete or just learn to kick ass this is an amazing school.

I came to the gym for a short time but it was a great experience. Both Kru David and Kru Santi were patient and took their time to teach me the right techniques. The sessions were great workouts so definitely bring a water bottle! There wasn’t many girls while I was there but that doesn’t matter because everyone makes you feel welcomed.
Unfortunately for me I’ve been extremely busy with school and work so I haven’t been able to go back but I miss it all the time and hopefully I’ll be able to come back soon.

I went here for a few months and have to say the trainers and members here are all really knowledgable and helpful. This is a great place to learn and practice Muay Thai, a previous injury kept me from continuing but I recommend this place to anyone looking for a Muay Thai gym.

I’ve never been excepted as quickly, or been made to feel as though I’m part of a family so fast.
Cru’s David and Santi are respectful and kind. I’ve trained a few martial arts in my time and I’ve normally felt like something of an outsider in the group for the first few months of my training. But not here. And the tuition doesn’t just come from the teachers, the more experienced students and pros at the gym are usually on hand to give a few helpful hints.
Expect to work harder than you ever have and sweat more than you thought was possible.
Come by and train. You won’t regret it.

I came into this gym 3 years ago wanting to fight. Since then I lost 30 pounds and became an amateur fighter with a record of 4 wins 0 losses. I have found that this gym
Changed my life in many ways. I have not only gotten into shape but with the support of my team mates I have found myself and discovered a second home. Not everybody fights who joins the gym. But everybody helps everybody and I think that’s what sets this gym different from the rest. The training is traditional Muay Thai and it very focused on technique.
How much more could you ask for in a Muay Thai gym?

Joining this gym was the best choice I’ve made. The first days here I never felt pressured or like an outcast. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful when I was trying to learn, even the pro fighters. This gym is filled with very humble people who kick ass though don’t get me wrong. Both David and Santi are excellent coaches, after each of their class I’m barley able to move cause it was a good workout. They also have a variety of class times which works well with my school schedule. You won’t regret setting foot in this gym.

I came into this gym with literally zero background in Muay Thai or any even semi-​related discipline, and walked into the gym on my first day nervous and hesitant. Coach David, however, guided me through my first few classes in a calm and easy-​going, but tough, manner, and Kru Santi did much of the same. Both coaches are extremely knowledgeable about what they do, and it didn’t take long for me to pick up on proper technique. They also pushed me just enough each class to make sure I get better each day, but don’t push so hard as to crush the spirit of each member of the class.
If you are considering taking Muay Thai, I highly recommend that you do so here. Everyone – not just the coaches – is there to help you grow and get better at what you do. You will be pushed, but you are never pushed into a dangerous situation or put in over your head. This gym has done everything great for me and I look forward to many more sessions here!

This is the place to go if you’re serious about shedding some serious weight and looking to get tone! The trainers there, Santi and David are great.
Not only do they push you but they make sure you’re technique is perfect. This is the only family oriented gym I can honestly call a 2^nd home!!!

Everyone here is very friendly and welcoming. I am a beginner and I felt intimidated at first. I previously did a few muay thai classes at Sityodtong, I did not like how they just throw you in there without any instruction. Unlike Sityodtong, the coaches and members of Muay Thai America work with you individually during the classes to help you learn the techniques. I really appreciate how we get a chance to practice those techniques, in every class, with other members instead practicing on pads all day like most other places.

I took my son to this gym for several months. Santi Kru and Santi David are great. Place doesn’t feel like a cold, corporate place. It’s very down to earth, family friendly place. Coaches and older patrons are great in getting involved to get the kids most exercise in least time. This is one of the best gyms for the money. I saw my 6 year old running/​kicking/​punching/​jumping… non stop for one hour, 3 times a week, and he loved it. But still had energy to stay and play afterwards with the other kids in the back of the gym. Highly commended.

If you’re looking to learn Muay Thai this is the place to be. I have tried couple other places but this one is the best by far. Kru David and Santi are the best in the business. Due to my schedule I have taken most of my sessions with David Huey. He is very chill and has great attention to detail. You can walk up to him anytime and ask for him to go over a technique and he will be more than happy to review. This gym has no egos. People who train here are awesome and the pro or experienced fighters will correct you and help if they see you struggling.
Kru David and Kru Santi train pro fighters so they know what they are talking about!
