Great gym! I just moved to ATL and have been looking for a place to start my Muay Thai journey…read more After researching a visiting a few gyms, Bangkok Boxing was the best fit for me. Not to mention it is the top rates premiere gym in the Atlanta area. My first session went great with me learning basic boxing and kicking techniques/ combos. The coach/ owner taught the class personally. While teaching, he made sure to communicate with me personally and train me at a beginner level. I plan to train their 6 days a week, and I am looking forward to the opportunity Bangkok Boxing is giving me to grow. Facilities are state of the art, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. You get plenty value for your dollar with unlimited session Muay Thai, Fitness kickboxing, and boxing. If you do see any lower star reviews they seem to all be personal issues the person had with the gym. Nothing to do with the quality or team working there. Also most lower start reviews are from people not being able to get out of the contract once it is signed. Do net let this deter you from visiting. These are individual financial banking problems that in no way represents Bangkok Boxing and its teaching.

Very disappointed in the owners Khunpon and his wife's behavior(at both locations). There was an…read moreissue regarding masks and I stated I was offended by his reaction towards me wearing a mask. Instead of resolving the issue himself, he had his assistant apologize on his behalf and refused to speak with me in person. It all boiled down to an anti-blackness negative social stigma and I was discriminated against because I am a woman of color. I felt very uncomfortable continuing with a gym membership at either location. Great front desk assistant, terrible owners. The owner needs to comprehend that African-American's are the main ones supporting his gym and I will not take this discrimination lightly, neither should his customers. I have plenty of Asian-American friends, so this is not a bashing moment, this is a festering boil that needs to be popped!

I have been considering enrolling my 9 year old for a while now and even dropped by for information…read morea few months ago. There was a young lady with multi colored hair at the entrance but she was too busy on her phone to acknowledge my husband and I so we left. I have since been on the fence not only because of our encounter but because of some concerning things I have heard from multiple people regarding what has been described as "childish drama" with the employees as well as told that if our family were to register "There would be certain things we would have to overlook" because the pros of the training out weigh the negative aspects of some of the people that work there. I don't base my opinions or decisions on hearsay and like to see things for myself and was willing to give this martial arts school another try (despite my off putting first impression.) I believe everyone deserves a second chance and what is a problem for one person doesn't mean it will be for another. That being said, I was leaving Pizza Hut last night (6/26) and witnessed the woman that I remembered seeing the day my husband and I came in accosting a black woman outside of the school. The employee was screaming at her, the woman was screaming back and all I heard were words like "pedophile" and other insults. It seemed like it was something personal and there were no children present but the behavior of the employee was abhorrent and as a result I absolutely will never consider this establishment an option for my family. It is my hope that whatever took place is resolved and because this is the second time I have witnessed this young lady acting in such a disrespectful and unprofessional way, management takes a good hard look at how their establishment is being represented to those of us in the community.

But to pay $99/ month for 1 class that's only offered in the morning and evening (facility is closed midday) and have to pay for a weigh in and an extra $50 to participate in other classes...it was just disappointing bc I felt they were more interested in my $$ than my wellness.

It moves painfully slow and they spend 90% of the hour class sitting around doing nothing. My child is bored the whole time and leaves disappointed because he actually wants to learn karate. Literally about 10 minutes are spent on drills, and the rest is nothing. There is no focused lesson or structured activities for each class. No focus on technique and the teachers seem checked out rather than engaged. We've seen several different instructors and it's been the same with all of them. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the kinder class.

I didn't know anything about martial arts when I choose Atlanta Budokan for my son's Aiki Jujitsu…read moreclasses. I just wanted a martial arts class in Acworth. At four years old he is a bit young for martial arts, but I have been amazed by how much he has already learned. The instructors are so knowledgable about what is age appropriate for him to be picking up, and the atmosphere of the classes is very positive. The older students are always so kind and willing to help work with him. I am excited to watch him grow and learn in such a great environment. I was so impressed by what I saw in his classes, I decided to take kickboxing myself. Like my son, I started at the "bottom" of the learning curve (but not the youngest, ha!). But just like with his class, I got such great instruction, and the support from the other ladies and guys in class was so positive, I didn't feel out of place. Instructors modified everything to my level as I was learning. I am now the most fit I have ever been in my life. And the stress relief from hitting the heavy bags if worth everything! If you are looking for Aiki or Kickboxing in an extremely family friendly environment in either Acworth or Smyrna, Atlanta Budokan is an excellent place.
