Chiang Mai JR Muay Thai

First of all, I want to point out that the coaching level is very good. The lady at the front desk is also very enthusiastic and cheerful. However, I need to point out that there are about 20 people in the group class here. The floor is covered with sweat. Everyone trains barefoot, and everyone's sweat is stepped on. It is very slippery and uncomfortable. The gloves and bandages are universal, and each one emits a strong stench. I almost fainted after smelling a glove. When I wanted to change a glove, two coaches came and loudly accused me, saying that if you want a non-smelly one, just buy a new one here. I have a full set of winning equipment in my country, so why should I buy a new pair of not-so-good gloves here? Besides, I have been abroad for more than two months. I didn't come to Thailand specifically to learn Muay Thai. This request is very ridiculous. The coach's target, the boxing gym, the bandages and the gloves all smell very bad. The smell will remain on your hands and the stench will continue. If you can accept the strong odor, then this is a good choice because the price is not expensive and the coaching level is high.

I managed to do one private session and one group class at this gym, and both were fantastic experiences. For the private session, I was paired with Coach Ming, who is in his 40s and has over 300 fights. We started with jump rope and stretching before moving into technical work, where Ming consistently adjusted my form whenever needed. We then completed several rounds of pad work—highly technical, challenging, and very engaging. The session wrapped up with conditioning and core exercises. Overall, it was an excellent experience. Ming has a sharp eye for detail and explained techniques in a way that was clear and easy to understand. The next day, I joined a morning group class. The session began with warm-up routines and stretching, followed by technical drilling and sparring. The sparring was light, technical, and a lot of fun. We finished the class with three rounds of pads, then bagwork and core. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and really appreciated how welcoming the coaches and members were. I was only in Chiang Mai for a week, but I’d love to return the next time I’m in the area. As an added bonus, the coaches and the front desk staff are able to communicate in both English and Mandarin.

Amazing coaches, amazing gym. Trained here for around 4 weeks this trip and was made to feel at home every session. Can’t fault it and would recommend it for sure. I tried a class at another gym and Chiangmai JR was the best by far. Sawadee Krap 🙏🏻

The absolute best Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai! My partner and I were looking for a place to learn real Muay Thai skills, have fun and train during our long stay, and this place was perfect. They have a lot of amazing trainers, so you get plenty of personal attention. Every session is different, and the training level is high level! They don’t let you rest too much, which is great haha!! Whether you're a beginner or experienced, you'll find your place here. The trainers truly care about the people who train with them. Everyone there is professional and dedicated. During our stay, we even saw two people from the gym compete, and the whole place felt like a family, every trainer showed up to support them! I can’t stress this enough, whether you want to train just once or long-term or professional, this is the best place to do it and the people here are so kind and welcoming. Highly recommended! We will come back for sure ❤️
