Man I normally don’t leave reviews for anything but I feel like I have a lot to say about Sor Sumrit and our time there so far, so here’s my honest review. We are new to the area and my kids and I have been looking for somewhere to train Muay Thai for a couple of months. About a month ago we decided to try out Sor Sumrit and man are we glad that we did. We did the free trial and were immediately hooked. Coach Nik is a phenomenal instructor and has a great way of teaching. He is knowledgeable, his instructions are thorough and he has a great way of explaining the mechanics behind what he teaches. He takes the time to focus on students individually as needed and exhibits a healthy form of constructive critique which is helpful to people who are new to the sport. It has created an environment for us that makes us eager to train and excited to learn. You can definitely tell that he has a genuine love for Muay Thai and is excited to share that love and passion with any who are looking to get into it or improve what they already know. The gym itself is exactly how I’d imagine a Muay Thai gym in Thailand looks and feels. It has a great vibe and is full of students of all levels and fighters who are just as helpful as Coach Nik is. His fight team, which is full of his most experienced fighters, are always available to offer help to anyone who needs it as well. They share their knowledge and fight experience to help us learn and grow. Even the more experienced students make you feel welcomed and help as you transition into the world of Muay Thai. In addition to Muay Thai, Sor Sumrit also offers Boxing fundamentals and BJJ. Coach G is an amazing boxing coach and really makes his fundamentals class fun and enjoyable. He breaks down movements and techniques and makes you understand how important basic footwork and proper punches really are. He shows you what you need to work on and then helps you better understand how to improve. A month in and I already feel like I am improving with my boxing, which is in turn helping me improve even more with my Muay Thai. The JiuJitsu coach, Sensei Jimmy, is a passionate and incredibly knowledgeable teacher. He runs the youth and adult JiuJitsu classes and a few weeks ago my son became one of his students. He immediately discovered his passion for BJJ thanks to Sensei Jimmy and is looking forward to pursuing BJJ more heavily. Sensei Jimmy takes the time to give my son the attention and assistance that he needs to develop his skill. It’s great to see my son becoming passionate about training and he’s already looking forward to competing in upcoming JiuJitsu tournaments under Sensei Jimmy’s mentorship. I myself am looking to start training BJJ under Sensei Jimmy now that I am gaining more experience in Muay Thai and Boxing. Overall this training facility is amazing and my kids and I love it. It has started to feel like our 2nd home. We are there 4 days a week and soon we’re looking to make it 5 once we make it to the sparring level. This gym definitely feels family oriented and everyone is so friendly and inclusive. It’s a great place to train for sure and if you’ve made it this far and are still considering giving Sor Sumrit a try, I highly recommend that you do. This place is the place to be if you are new to Muay Thai or have previous experience and are looking to take your training to the next level or even if you just want to get into shape. Sor Sumrit is great for all skill levels and for whatever your fitness goals are. So if you’re on the fence about Sor Sumrit, take the leap and give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
I’m extremely excited that I’ve found this gym. All of the coaches are experts and really know how to break all of the movements down to make it easy for all skill levels.
Been training here for roughly 4 months now and the only regret I have is not joining sooner. Everyone has been extremely welcoming. It's a true community and very rewarding experience.
Awesome environment to train in. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The number of successful fighters that have come out of this gym speaks for itself. Whether you are experienced or a beginner, you will find the classes challenging yet fun. I would recommend anyone to try out Sor Sumrit Muay Thai.
We are very happy with the skills and confidence our five year old son has acquired through the kids classes at Sor Sumrit. Coach Nick and Jimmy have been wonderful to work with and our son won gold and bronze medals at his first Jiu Jitsu tournament after only four months in classes! Our son is so excited to go to classes each week. Highly recommend!
