Elk Grove Muay Thai Academy

My 12 year old son loves this place and the owners are genuinely nice and family oriented.

I brought my son in for a trial and he absolutely loved it. He was dripping in sweat. Kru Rick was no pressure, he explained how it works and the prices. It was all definitely worth it. Unfortunately the drive was further than I thought and he did let me know of a closer place to me which I found very honest and upstanding. I did not sign up at this time but would recommend them to anyone and possibly may return in the future.

My son has been practicing at EG Muay Thai Academy for the younger age group for 3 months now and I have observed positive changes outside of the gym including the following: his activity level is better, he is healthier, he is gaining muscle, and he is more focused. He used to have a problem at school and was often bullied due to his size and not knowing or have the confidence to defend himself. He now has the confidence to block and push back (as a last option). Setting limits will be a big help as he moves into Jr. High School.My son likes attending class and I never have to drag him to go. This confirms to me that the instructors make working out fun and pushes the kids to their limits but not unrealistically over the edge. The kids receive real world situational instructions and practice.Other items to note: There's an area for the kids to leave their bags. Their equipment is not ripped and broken. The prices are at market price with other martial art schools. Their class schedules are clearly posted. The instructors are friendly and full of information. There's a parent area to sit and wait for the kids.

Love love love it here! Kru Rick is just good at what he does. He's an awesome fighter, a great instructor, and a nice person. There are many classes offered throughout the day which is great for my work schedule. They focus on teaching the proper techniques and conditioning. The gym is cleaned before and after every class. It's very spacious and feels like a safe space for learning and practicing. Very professional, inclusive, overall family atmosphere.

Really good instructors. Good balance of pushing my limits and giving me time to improve. Good place to train as a woman because I get to practice with everyone, am part of the team, and am also treated with respect. Professional. I highly recommend it.

When I first joined I was 160 pounds, now I am 145 pounds! The people are friendly and going at your own pace is encouraged. Don't worry about not being good at first because everyone is there to help. Even if your not aiming to be a fighter, the academy is a great place for keeping in shape and improving your mentality. When it comes to lessons, there is an emphasis on mastering technique first. Once you get the technique down the power, speed, and conditioning will come naturally over time. Therefore I would highly recommend this place to anybody at any skill level of fitness or martial arts.

My son & I joined a year and a half ago. His confidence has gone through the roof and he is in great physical shape. Kru Rick promotes a positive mindset, respect, and love for the art of Muay Thai. After a health scare the year before joining I've managed to get off my blood thinners and heart medication thanks to Elk Grove Muay Thai. The environment is welcoming and supportive to all and I cannot recommend it enough!

My son has been coming here for a year now. What a transformation I have seen in him with mind,body and soul. Thank you Kru Rick ! It's amazing what you have done with a non athletic kid with Asperger syndrome and not a lot of coordination. This is a amazingly talented academy and I encourage anyone and everyone to sign up !!

One of the best extra curricular activities I've gotten into in my life. It's fun, very useful, and a great confidence builder/workout. I started in January at 220lb and am 178 now and I've made no major dietary changes and I rarely workout outside of Muay Thai.

Elk Grove Muay Thai Academy is the place to be if you want to change your life and better yourself. I've lost 55 lbs since I joined last year (from 220 to 165) and I'm feeling a lot more confident everyday. Kru Rick is an excellent teacher and positive influence in the community. All the other coaches here are excellent and friendly as well. Everyone at EG Muay Thai makes you feel welcome as family and I have mad love/respect for everyone here. Coming to this gym is the best part of my day and I don't see that changing anytime soon!
