Can't Find a ThaiBoxing Gym in Los Angeles =/

[TheHorror]

yeah, I guess searching for a thaiboxing gym in Los Angeles isn't that easy, especially since L.A is where all the top notch martial artist usually end up teaching anyways, I been considering just to pick up a boxing gym, but really boxing isn't really what I want. my eyes are on Muay Thai still anyways. I tried to use the search engine and tried to reply on the topics similiar to mine but that was no help but I decided to make my own threat. anyways I live Around Santa Monica, california. anyone know of a good Muay thai gym near me?

Suggestion

The Inosanto Academy in Marina Del Rey teaches some Muay Thai classes as well as other styles of martial arts. They are part of Thai Boxing Association. Dan Inosanto is Vice President of Thai Boxing Association. Look up www.inosanto.com for location. If you want to really go hardcore nothing but muay thai try Rex Gym in Van Nuys.

Inosanto

I would go with the Inosanto Academy. I wish I lived close enough to train there, I wouldn't even mind driving a couple of hours. But, alas, I'm on the east coast.

yeah dan's acdemy isn't too far at all, but i dunno i question jkd's training methods', and the effectivness of jkd, and I just don't like the idea of waiting for phase 3 just to begin sparring. I believe most of what they teach in Muay thai can be very useful in a real life situation, and your most likly to sparr in the first day!..and kru rex is pretty far from me.. =(...anyone know any where else,

Why don't you check it out

Try observing a muay thai class at inosanto academy and see if it fits what u r looking for. It's close so you should just check it out. Or better yet they'll let you take one class. First one is free. If you like you can join. either way doesn't hurt.
