I started training at Nak Muay about 3 months ago and it has been one of the best decisions I have made in a long time.From the start the gym presented a welcoming atmosphere and a culture of mutual respect. Whether you're there to train seriously with the intent to compete, to learn self defense, or just get a great work out, all are made to feel welcome and supported. No egos or tough-guy attitudes, everyone I have worked with, from beginners like myself to advanced students helping us out, has made me feel like they are there to help me grow and improve, and instilled in me a desire to do the same for anyone I work with.Coach Mack is an incredible teacher, instructing with patience, care and a clear love for Muay Thai, and Kru Eric is a font of knowledge and experience in all things authentic Muay Thai, making you feel as though you're not only learning a great and effective martial art, but also the culture and spirit behind it.I also feel stronger and more capable than I have in my life thanks to the intense nature of training, but unlike most forms of difficult physical training, I have a blast doing it every time.Whether you're looking to become a competitive fighter in Muay Thai, learn good self defense skills, or just get a helluva work out for your own health and well being, Nak Muay is the place, no question. Come and see for yourself!

Nak Muay Gym and the art of muay thai is absolutely something everybody should get to experience. The atmosphere is very welcoming and comforting, especially for beginners. I joined about a year ago and the instructors have never let me down! If you join this gym, you also become a part of the community we have. Many people, many different personalities and characters, yet all sharing the same love for the sport. Above all it’s an amazing workout and a very effective striking art, so if you wish to compete the instructors will guide you there to.

I’ve loved every second of training here! When I signed up for my intro class, I thought I’d only come once or twice a week, but after my very first session I was hooked and started coming every day. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely care about helping you improve. The atmosphere is welcoming to everyone, and we have such a great community of women who support and push each other. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, this is the perfect place to learn, grow, and fall in love with Muay Thai.

I suggest everyone do what I did. Do a trial here at Nak Muay and then go do trials at all the other striking gyms in the area. I always do my research before jumping into anything. See for yourself that this has the best training for striking in the area.The owner and head trainer has stayed and trained in the motherland of Thailand for an extended period of time. He brought back authentic muay thai knowledge and spread it to all the other coached and students.I started going to this gym 2 years ago and I always look forward to going to class. Staying active doesn’t feel like a chore anymore. It’s more than staying active. Muay thai sharpens your mind and lets you have that mind-body connection. Everyone has great vibe and the more advanced students are always happy to help whenever you want it.They do yearly group trips to Thailand so we get the full muay thai experience. I wish I would’ve started this sooner and that’s constant thing I hear from a lot of people. Age is irrelevant to training muay thai. If you’re reading this, consider it your calling to come out and give it a shot.

Nak Muay is a real-deal, no-BS gym that is THE clear leader in striking training in NE PA. Kru Eric and Coach Mackenize have fostered an environment/curriculum that caters to both novices and advanced strikers looking to compete. This gym has fielded fighters in UFC and other major promotions. Without a doubt, if you want to learn or improve your skills in Muay Thai or kickboxing, there is no better place in the Lehigh Valley.Kru Eric teaches a traditionally authentic style of Muay Thai that comes from his years of competition with the Sityodtong camp in Thailand. His field experience is made evident in the curriculum- few gyms in the country could contextualize a lesson with “when you’re fighting in Thailand, you need to…”. The Sityodtong Muay Thai style is a gold standard that carries weight and is taught internationally.While the pedigree speaks for itself, Nak Muay’s culture emphasizes safety and fundamentals. Beginner students receive extra attention to ensure progress. The curriculum is laid out in a clear way for individuals to transition from novice to capable strikers. Whether you’re looking to just get in shape or compete, Nak Muay has you covered.Training in other gyms across the country has made me appreciate the Nak Muay curriculum; the style is immediately recognized and respected. I’m looking forward to returning to train with the Nak Muay community.
