Pong is awesome & so are the rest there. They're great with the kids, too! The place isn't super brand new, but that's what makes it more of a real gym. They know their stuff there! Grateful that my boys & I got to go, even for just a short period. read more

I have so much respect and admiration for Kru Pongsan. Not only is he a legendary fighter, but an amazing instructor. He provides a rigorous curriculum that truly tests you physically and mentally. His original Thailand style of training will challenge you like no other workout. We consider ourselves a family, at World Muay Thai. Everyone supports each other and makes the class fun. Don't be mistaken though, we sweat and scream together :-) I know that I will continue to train with Kru Pong for years to come. I have grown so much as an athlete, and generally, as a person. He truly cares about his students and is passionate about guiding us toward reaching our best selves. He is strict, that is for sure, but he gives the tough love that helps you grow. read more

the classes are very bare bones. Dude tries to get the vibe going with weapons on the walls, movie posters. It's like a kid opened a boxing gym. Too expensive for what it is tho. Jumped into a free class. In the middle, the teacher offered my friend and I some waters. We said we're good. He insisted. After the class, he tried charging us for the waters. Didn't pay. Buddy and I dipped. You don't offer complimentary waters and they try to get us on the way out. Shiesty move read more

I've been training here for approximately 6 years and it never gets old or boring. KRU Pong routinely changes the curriculum and the exercises so you're always learning something new. KRU Pong will push you physically and mentally which will boost your confidence (not cockiness). You'll get into the best shape of your life and at the end of each class you'll be rewarded with a real sense of accomplishment. Everyone here is friendly and there is real camaraderie, no egos and attitudes...check those at the door. If you want to learn authentic muay thai, this is the place for you. read more

World Muay Thai - Muay Thai Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Best traditional Muay Thai experience around here. The gym is Muay Thai only. No, it's not cardio kickboxing for soccer moms, this is the real deal. Real Muay Thai for all levels. It is not easy, but if you can stick with it you will not be disappointed. I promise. Kru Pong is a Muay Thai traditionalist, born and raised in Thailand. He will push you as far as you are willing to go. The gym is very friendly and has a family atmosphere, but don't that fool you into thinking it's a soft gym. It's one of the best. I've been there almost 4 years now. Should be more but I drove past the gym for 2 years because I was embarrassed to be a new person. I've played sports my whole life all the way through college. Muay Thai is easily the best workout I've experienced. I canceled my 24 hour gym membership and made Muay Thai my primary workout. Get in shape and learn to defend yourself. read more

I've been coming to train with Kru Pong and the rest of the awesome people here for around 5 years now. I have trained at other gyms and seen the quality of instruction that they have to offer, but nothing compares to World Muay Thai. This is hands down the best and most authentic Muay Thai gym out here. The people are friendly, gym is clean and well stocked with equipment. There was a recent schedule change which better suits the 9-5 work schedule and there are classes on Saturday too. This isn't just a gym, it's a family and I bet you will love the training. I highly recommend coming to try it out. Mention the week trial to Pongsan and he will let you test the waters to see if it is for you. read more

After training in other arts for years, I found World Muay Thai and decided to give it a try. After just one class, I was hooked. Somehow, I brought myself to find the time to train every day. That was over seven years ago, and I still love training with Kru Pong and the other members of the gym. Kru Pong has the ability to push you harder than you've been pushed before, yet he's still able to keep the atmosphere fun and enjoyable. If you are training to fight, Kru Pong can bring you up to the level that you need to be at. If you just want to get fit, Kru Pong will help you reach your fitness goals while teaching you something much more practical than anything you will ever do at LA Fitness. read more

As far a Muay Thai instructors go... Pong is the absolute best. Charming, funny, and total kick in the pants when you need it. I grew up here. Grew into a man here. Fought here, and taught here. After 15 years and loads of money spent on sub-par martial arts I found Pong and Muay Thai. I haven't trained anything else since. It's family here. The workout is for beginners to fighters, and it doesn't matter how out of shape you are or how good of shape you think you're in, pong will meet your needs. You will learn things you will use the rest your life, and you won't be able to stop coming back for more. Muay Crack. So good for you it should be illegal. read more
