Muay Thai Kick Boxing Gym

This place was a sham. They will charge you regardless of the service provided. I signed up for their 4 month plan and ended up barely going due to certain circumstances that would occupy most of my time. A contract is a contract though. The problem occurred when they charged me for the fifth month which was not even covered by the contract. A few days after I was charged for month 5 despite not having shown up to the gym for a good 3 months, I called them up and asked for a refund. I was outright refused this courtesy. There was also no cancellation confirmation, so I was forced to notify my bank to not allow withdrawals from them. Overall, I’d rate my experience very poorly.

Kru Neil is so flippin awesome! This place is my second home. I love it so much.
He’s a great instructor and super patient. Great for kids.
Everyone’s really nice and there’s no ego.

I trained with Kru Neil for around 5 months at the beginning of 2015. He is a top notch fighter and coach with years of experience. From day one, like others have said, he coaches you one on one in the basics: footwork, movement, proper kicking and punching and many more. As you progress he decides when you are ready to spar. You can go multiple times a day since it is an open gym. One great thing Kru tells everyone is that he trains everyone the same way. He won’t leave you hanging just cause you are there to workout and not compete. His gym enforces respect to one another, everyone is incredibly nice and helps each other grow. Iv’e been to some other gyms for free lessons and NOBODY can compare to Kru Neil’s expertise on the art. I plan on joining back up after my injury heals. Best gym in the valley by far!

I trained with Kru Rex in the mid 90’s, a great teacher and fighter. He tought me a lot and I was in the best shape of my life. Thank you Rex always had good memories there I hope to stop by and say hello.

Kru Neil is an exceptional Muay Thai instructor. He was a former professional Thai kickboxer and fought in Thailand. One story he told me was that he never broke his nose in any matches. This is because he knows defensive techniques along with proper stance and footwork which he will teach you. He also teaches other Muay Thai techniques that are not used in a real match. Kru Neil works with you one on one as soon as you arrive, this is convenient if you’re a busy person. The price is also very reasonable. If I was back in the valley, I would train in this gym again. The other people there are also very friendly. Whether you want to get in shape or take Muay Thai seriously, this is the place.
P. S. I have gone to a lot of Muay Thai gyms and this was the best out of all of them!

This one is run by kru rex’s son, Kru Neil, who is also a very excellent trainer, for the price, you cannot beat the instruction or training, I like the set up of not having class hours and getting good workouts whenever I decide to come in, Kru Neil is an EXCELLENT trainer, Ive been boxing on and off since I was 16 and Id have to say he probably has some of the toughest workouts around, Wether you’re trying to compete or just for simple fun workouts this is the spot to come too. At first I was confused with stances and what not since I am a boxer, it was a bit different. However once we put everything together it all made sense. Kru Neil Also understands that if one method of training doesn’t work he will try other methods which shows that as a trainer he knows not everyone learns the same, On top of that it shows hes a patient trainer.
Another student and I (he is currently trying to compete in MMA) we were discussing how another good thing about this training facility is you cannot just hide and workout half assed, Kru Neil uses everyone for various workouts and uses people effectively getting the best of workouts out of everyone, Also he isnt the type of trainer whos going to lie to you and just tell you youre doing a good job, if youre not doing it right he’ll explain to you how to fix it and expect you to work on it, Hell never put you down or use negative reinforcement to get you discouraged. He also keeps a very close eye on sparring going on and helps you out giving you advice and instruction while you’re sparring, this is another sign that a trainer is very careful about how people spar in the gym and good about instructions. I would have to say overall hes an EXCELLENT Muay Thai coach, and worth every penny you spend as far as stand up instruction goes. Now he is a traditional muay thai fighter and coach so if youre into that style it helps big time.
As far as fighting and training partners I come in the morning and there is a good group of guys that come that are pretty dedicated it seems, Im not sure how the night classes are but im sure there is alot more fighters and guys who are tough to workout with also. The Style of Muay Thai Kru Neil teachers is very technical which is VERY good. You dont want some guy teaching you how to kickbox or do muay thai and overlooks all your technique so you have poor form and bad habits

Best place for weight loss, cardio, self defense and fight training In my opinion.
Kru Neil is a great teacher and very hands on, whatever level you’re at, and whatever you require from martial arts. My daughter, wife and myself all go for different reasons. The gym is fully equipped with everything needed for the serious fighter all the way to the beginner or someone just trying to get fit. Cannot say enough good things. Incidentally the instructor has fought and won in the biggest Muay Thai stadium in Thailand so he knows his stuff, but is also very friendly and supportive

My brother used to take Okinawa Te karate, and my fiancé takes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so I’ve been wanting to try out a martial art for some time now. Amazon deals was offering a package for 3 Muay Thai classes here and I decided that it’s time to give it a shot.
Let me tell you, if you seriously want to get into shape, while learning the craft of Muay Thai, then this is the place. Kru Neil is very dedicated to teaching and changes things up/​builds on previous lessons with each visit. I never got bored, and I always felt like I got hit by a train in the next couple days after my workout, which is good for me because it showed which muscle groups I’d worked and that I was getting my money’s worth.
Overall, I’d recommend this gym, and I would definitely like to take more classes in the future.

My short version rating of this gym is: AWESOME! But let me elaborate on this.
To start off, this gym teaches traditional Muay Thai. Now, I say this because I’ve tried complimentary classes elsewhere and what they teach at these other places is a far cry from traditional Muay Thai.
In terms of the head instructor, Kru Neil is a seasoned instructor who is patient, can notice the small details from a mile away, and teaches you from the ground up. He establishes the fundamentals and builds up on that.
A big perk about this gym is the fact that there is no class schedule. You simply show up and Kru Neil will plan out a regimen for the day. There is no pressure to rush in order to make it to the start of a class. In fact, if you are up for the challenge, you can even do a two-​a-​day.
I can guarantee you that will get a hell of a workout no matter what shape you are in. I say this because I came into this being a very active and very fit person but my training here doesn’t fail to test and push me everytime. But this is not to discourage those that may be looking for a place to lose weight. Everyone has a limit and you will get pushed to that limit.
As for the people that patronize this gym, everyone is very welcoming, approachable, and humble. There are no egos and people are very respectful. People are not trying to knock each other out while sparring. Everything is under control.
Overall, I highly recommend you try this gym. It gets addicting once you start!

I studied with Kru Rex many moons ago. He was very patient with me and pushed me to always do my best. «I can’t» was never in our vocab. Although it has been such a long time since I trained, the love for Muay Thai and Kru Rex will always remain in my heart.

Let me start off by saying that I just starting going here, and everything has so far been good.
I gotta say, I’ve taken Muay Thai for a year as a kid, and a few more months as an adult, but never got the same amount of attention to details as I do at Muay Thai Kick Boxing Gym. Kru Niel really emphasizes on doing each move right. I feel that in just a couple months, my skill level will far exceed what I could have achieved training for years at other schools.

Went to Muay Thai Kickboxing gym to watch my team Team Victory fight. Their fight night was pretty well organized. It was very entertaining to watch all the fights that were set up by Kru Rex. Kru Rex is a very nice guy, and from what I hear from any coaches/​Krus that he’s an excellent teacher.
Their sanctioned fights are one of the best to come and look at future potential champions. Muay Thai Kickboxing gym and Kru Rex are well known in the Mya Thai community, and if you’re a hungry competitor looking for your first amateur muay thai bout in Southern California, you’re probably duke it out here.
And if you’re looking for a new gym to look into, or try muay thai I would suggest Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym. The facility alone is very spacious with a boxing ring, mat area, heavy bags etc to have your hard training be executed. Train hard!

Kru Rex is the man. I studied here for a short while probably 15 years ago, and if you want to learn how to kick someone’s ass… go here. Forget these MMA McDojo’s that have popped up everywhere, and forget the traditional Karate and Tae Kwon Do stuff. Kru Rex will teach you how to wreck shop…

It’s been a long time since I’ve trained with Kru Rex and his son Kru Neil. Thought I’d give them support because they’re top notch instructors who really care whether you’re getting the most out of the gym. Their instuction is from the ground up to learn Muay Thai from real masters. No need to move to Chiang Mai unless of course you want to.

Great Muay Thai gym. Unfortunately it got a bit to expensive for me but $ 130 a month is still a bargain for a gym such as this. I plan to return when this economy gets out of this cluster f***. Kru Neil is very knowledeable and will teach you with patience. Which, if you have ever been to a bad gym, know that most instructors are in it for the money and not the advancement of the fighter or potential fighter. It is great training for those whose are looking to fight, lose weight or strengthen their self-​esteem. The only qualm that I would have about going back is that I know that drills are not used in this gym and punching drills are very important to a fighter’s ability to throw combinations under pressure. Besides that I would defenitely go back when the time is right. So for now I’ll stick to MMA. Excuse me. I got to go and catch Ralph Macchio, I heard he is talking shit and has this old asian guy training him.
