Payak Authentic Muay Thai & Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu

Best muay thai gym in Tampa with great culture same as Thailand

Very dedicated coach ! Well organised training! Long hours opened everyday. Pro come training as well. Best Muay Thai gym in Tampa in my opinion

My 7 year old son has been attending for a few weeks now for private lessons. He struggles with coordination and following directions. I'm so pleased with how well he is improving when given direction. The instructors are super patient with him. Very grateful we found Payak. Excited to see my son get stronger and grow more.

So I joined Payak Authentic Muay Thai September 2021, and I have fallen in love with the gym and coach/trainer Kru Scott. So I was first apprehensive about walking through the doors, thinking that I would just be a punching bag to the experienced members there. Quite the opposite, Kru Scott designs the class to where it is beneficial for the beginner such as myself, and the experienced fighter. He teaches authentic Muay Thai, the way it is taught in Thailand, and gives special attention to detail for each and every student. To say that I have made leaps and bounds would be an understatement under his guidance. Prices are extremely reasonable, and the overall vibe of the gym is that no one is there to get hurt or hurt someone else. It is a friendly welcoming environment, and I’ve never felt that sparring has been out of control where someone could get hurt. The more seasoned members will work with you one on one to help get you going and feeling comfortable from day 1. Overall, this has been such a great place to go to, I highly recommend this for people of all ages, all body shapes, sizes, and different athletic abilities. Oh, and one last thing that MUST be mentioned… This is an amazing way to burn calories and lose weight without feeling the boredom of a treadmill or elliptical. I have lost 18 pounds in just under 2 months, with no change to my diet or eating habits. Come on in and check it out for a class or two.

I joined this place recently and so far the experience here has been great! I was ready to give it up after working at a prior gym, but Scott seems to be extremely patient and a great teacher. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming but be ready to sweat! I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in learning Muay Thai.
