dont bother at muayfit. . its not muay thai, you do a lot of cardio stuff, good for exercising but you dont learn anything at all. try other more authentic muay thai gyms.

1) Merican muay thai
2) Kirsty Muay Thai
3) TNT kickboxing (not exactly muay thai)
4) Sparta Muay Thai

what do u mean by cardio? running? or non-sense exercise
as long as got kicking and punching thats a good start

depends on your goals.

perhaps you can tryout the classes at these places first and then make a judgment?

i know most of these gyms give out free trials.

but i was a member of muayfit and after a while, its not as fun anymore. small space, crowded, bad equipment.

merican is pretty good but its quite pricey.

right now im training at sparta muay thai at oasis, ara damansara. they are a tiger muay thai affiliate. and so far it has been great, they have two thai trainers in every class and the centre is really nice

already attend their trial class.. not sign anything yet
quite interesting, punching n kicking and cardio too
and they offer not only muay but many martial art class for 62/mth vry cheap
u shud try to contact them to arrange trial class for u, then u decide later lah if u wanna join

muayfit prices are reallly cheap but thats on a 2 year contract. =)

each gym have their own pros and cons...u should try out their free trials first before committing

Since that you've been to their trial session, would you recommend it to me then?
Just want opinion from someone who have been there for real  biggrin.gif

I'll look for a day for their trial nonetheless.
I'd prefer Muay actually. seems like the most practical self defense art to me so far.
Kinda of contemplating want to sign up for any class or not.
Afraid it'll be too aggressive for me to handle.

thanks for the insight anyways  biggrin.gif

for muay thai...i'd suggest u try:

1) Merican Muay Thai (Solaris Dutamas)
2) Sparta Muay Thai (Ara Damansara)

dont go muay fit.. this is based on experience. =) i was a member there for 1 year. =)

TS like I told u in /k/, few weeks ago got this dude complaining about MF and would not recommend it. I'm not sure how true but seeing some comments here I think ya la, probably its not the muay thai people expect. Is it true the class supposed to be 1hr but sometimes they made it only 30mins?
*
yea, what happened to tht post?

MMA - Mixed Martial Arts.

Pros that fight in MMA's  fight have at least 1 base in martial art be it taekwando, karate, jiu jitsu or muay thai to name a few.

If you plan to fight in a MMA fight, master at least 1 martial arts, not bits and pieces from each because when you fight someone who have a strong based in one art, you most prolly will lose.

IMO, MMA class should not be for beginners that have no experience in martial art at all, but a sparring class (stand up and ground work) to put in practice what you learned in class, hone your skill, movements, flexibility, tips from your sparring partner and also the instructor.
MuayFit do not have pure Muay Thai class, but more to Muay Thai for fitness, something like body combat.
But if you want to practise MMA, yeah, it's the ideal place as always have fighters dropping in for training there. But whether or not you get to train/spar with the fighters, I don't know.

i think those taking MMAs not the real martial arts enthusiasts. just my 2 cents. if you really love the art, you will dedicate your time, passion and discipline into it rather than learning bits and pieces of it and trying to get into a cage and fight and then calling yourself a fighter.

Eh, but my friend say you don't have membership at sparta lo.... unsure.gif
ditto... my thoughts exactly...
i think kikopi meant coming for the spartans Beatdown this saturday evening, not training...

yeap, i think for example, if u really want to learn BJJ, might as well learn it from a proper sifu. learning a martial art is not just about whacking,kicking..its about learning and appreciating the discipline in it as well. besides, not all practitioners/fighters make great teachers.

my friend who joined muayfit said he regretted signing up for 2 years (just cause its cheap) as despite the impressive fighters that they have, you dont really train with them and there is no consistent trainer. well, my friend is 'poyo' in that sense la, he thinks by doing MMA he calls himself a fighter..hahah

yeap, i meant for beatdown, are you guys going?
