Outstanding Muay Thai gym!…read more I've been coming here for about a month now. I try to come every day for all the classes they offer. I'm obsessed with both Muay Thai and training here. The classes are intense, physically demanding (in a good way), and the instruction is top notch. There is always something exciting to learn and the coaches do a fantastic job getting the point across and making sure everyone is on the same page and up to speed. They care about your development and well-being and I never feel stupid for asking questions or speaking up if I don't understand something. I look forward to every day and every class. I want to give a shout-out to Shawn. He was been extremely patient with me (a newbie) and has shown tremendous courtesy, respect, and grace for someone new and trying to learn. He really knows his stuff and I'm impressed with his professionalism. I look forward to training here for a very long time. I found a good group of guys in this gym, both coaches and other trainees. Everyone seems to want to help one another. I am thoroughly impressed and glad I started coming here. Thank you Ambush Muay Thai for the opportunity to train here. Even though I have a long way to go I give it my all every time I show up. -Jason Otto

And the prices are pretty acceptable. They also have punch cards instead of monthly if you are busy and there is no BS contract fee!! My personal favorite is the Sunday morning class for drills.

My focus is on Gi…read morejiu-jitsu and while the schedule here is geared more towards the No-gi side, the quality of instruction is very high. The classes I've attended the most are the morning classes Professor Davis definitely has a lot of high level moves and concepts but breaks it down so that it's scaffolded to all levels. He's literally said 'you can stop here if you're comfortable.' He's also very accessible, both as an instructor and just as a human being. There isn't a rigid formality here so if you have a question or are frankly, lost like I frequently am you can just stop and ask for help without being afraid of being 'that guy.' I had to pause due to surgery/recuperating and it was as easy pausing my billing and being told if I needed more time to just let them know. I'm looking forward to get back on the mats and start training again-where I'm definitely going to have to ask a lot of questions.

He's excellent at breaking down moves and explaining how everything fits together. The facility is very nice as well. There's a shower and the mats are very clean too!

The conditioning is a great send off into the weekend. Incorporates compound movements and yoga, which I appreciate. Solid spot.

I wasn't sure what to expect coming in, but since the very first day, all the instructors, as well as my fellow student peers have been incredibly welcoming and encouraging. The school holds itself and its instruction to a high standard. It is evident that all the instructors at the school have a true passion for martial arts, and I thoroughly enjoy Master Ali's style of teaching. As an avid learner, the instructors' enthusiasm and expertise make it easy to not only learn something new every class, but also enjoy the training as well! There is so much knowledge and room for growth in Tukong - whether you're looking for self-defense techniques, weapons work, or philosophical teachings you can find it all here at the dojang. If you're looking to not only grow as a martial artist, but also join a family of warriors, I highly recommend trying out Tukong Martial Arts!

He wholeheartedly embodies the heart and art of this unique and effective martial art form. I enjoy learning from all of the teachers at this school; they are very knowledgeable and friendly. I would describe all of the classes as positive, focused, challenging, and fun. Completely new to martial arts, I've been regularly attending classes at Tukong Austin for about 7 months now. Honestly, it has changed my life in a significant way! I've noticed a continual growth in myself in physical and mental strength, confidence, discipline, respect, focus, and of course martial arts/self-defense skills. If you let it, this school will gently mold you and challenge you to be a better you! I highly recommend this school!
