The gym has a friendly, inviting atmosphere and Jonesly has created a culture that promotes encouragement and cooperation.

My overall confidence has grown through his program.

Unfortunately, I couldn't even attend for a month to try it out... I got beaten senseless by half of a class of 10-12 people during beginner class "light/technical" sparring. I hit everyone half speed in the head once (pulling all my punches besides maybe 1 or 2) and they flipped out like I had just slapped their mothers. After the sparring, I got ceremoniously bopped in the head by Coach Eddie the Magnificent. On my 5th day of class to boot... I basically paid $300+ just to get a concussion and have my SPINE damaged. Very disturbing experience... I did not enjoy these furious 'ommpa loompa's' and SIR PETTY EDDIE slapping me in the head while I was dazed and confused. #LeaveYourNapoleanComplexesHome #NoBueno #InPainaYearLater #TheDirtyDozen #CheaperbytheDozen #CheckingTeeps #RabbitPunchMadness #HadtoSupermanThatYouKnowWhat #GotPunchedintheBackoftheHeadsooooManyTimes

I emailed Sitan Gym in advance because I was going to be in Norwalk for work. Some of my fellow…read moreYelpers know that I've been taking Muay Thai, and I didn't want to miss while I was away. I was excited to hear that there was a champion fighter only a mile from the hotel I was staying at so I asked if I could come in and try the class. They emailed me back fairly quickly saying that they'd love to have me, which made me happy to go. My instructor told me to sign up for a beginner class. When I got there we did some warmups, but no jump rope like I'm used to. I was definitely the oldest in class. According to the schedule, it was a beginner class, but it seemed more like a kids class to me. During the time I was there, we did technical sparring. I was happy to be paired with more advanced, older students (the one girl won her last fight), and then also some kids. I felt a little out of my element, and I def. got punched in the face by a teenage boy at least once lol. I had cut my eye earlier in the day so it was bloodshot and kept watering. Def. not a good look, and maybe I shouldn't have even taken class. Oh well. After class, I got asked for a payment of $30, which I would have liked to have known up front, but nonetheless, I think it's a reasonable price for sure. I would have appreciated having more instruction on skills and technique though. Coach Eddie was walking around making suggestions, but my more advanced partners were pretty quiet. I did learn a defense move and quick, follow up counter attack to kicks, but it was mostly sparring and not so much instruction at this particular session. I'd say this class is really intense. So if you are looking to fight, this would def. be the place for you. Also, take it seriously. I stayed after to watch the advanced class and I have to say it was pretty intimidating, and Coach Eddie doesn't accept anything less than your best. If you are in town temporarily, def. talk to the gym about trying a class, but maybe call and get more details first so you know what to expect.

I recently moved to Glen Cove and was pleased to find that there is authentic Muay Thai being taught in the neighborhood. I checked it out for myself and quickly appreciated it. Signing up for a monthly membership was an easy decision. Master Garcia is knowledgable and caring. He will take the time and put in the effort to train you whether you are a seasoned fighter or someone who has zero martial arts training. If you're reading this review, I suggest you find the class schedule, message the owner, and come in to try it for yourself. I hope that more people in the neighborhood will begin training Muay Thai and that it fosters a greater sense of community.

When I called, I asked…read morefor pricing information and the lady on the phone sidestepped my question and asked "When can you come down?". As a sales manager, I was actually impressed but I asked again and she said she would "email me all the information". I relented. That email was just a video of the gym. That's called a lie. I went down there while they had a class going and it was extremely loud but I said I would come to take a class in later that day. Before I left, the lady asked if I wanted to buy the wraps now (skin in the game tactic) and I said no. When I arrived for the "free class" the man behind the counter said, "1st class will be $25 and wraps are included". I asked what the monthly charge is and he said "We go over that after class" I said I am not going to buy wraps if I don't know what the monthly charge is. He looked at me with disdain but quickly went back to the cheerful salesman. Another person started going over the prices with me and it reminded me of a follow-the-ball under-the-cup game. She kept flipping the paper over to show their "amazing schedule" which I admit was pretty good. I couldn't afford it but even if I could I don't think I would have signed up. Just be transparent and don't waste my time.
