My Grandson takes Boxing & Jujitsu Classes & really loves it. He is 14 & has lost 8 lbs & gained strength & confidence. I don’t go in, I only give him rides to & from, occasionally, to help his Mom & Dad.
Judging by his happiness, this is a great gym with awesome teachers!

Kelly taught a few of my kids for a short time. He’s a great instructor, great with the kids, and has been doing this for a long time. I truly wish I lived closer to his business as I’m looking to get my 5 year old into martial arts.
I also took my concealed carry with Mr. O’ Keefe and it was extremely helpful.

It’s a fantastic way for home school students to get their Physical Ed. credit and socialize with new friends at the same time!
Definitely not your average cookie-cutter workout routine. It’s better! You work your mind and your body at the same time!

What a great work out! I got to play with swords just like the Olympic fencers I saw on TV during the 2012 Summer Olympics!
I like that they have classes for many different ages and abilities!

Great atmosphere! The coaches are the best in the area and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended for getting in shape and learning how to defend yourself!
Hannah Marchand
First off- I am a bigger girl looking to lose weight, build some confidence and be able to defend myself if needed. In addition to those things I’ve really been struggling with stress and anger.
I came to my first class a couple weeks ago (beginners muay thai) I felt comfortable from the beginning and everyone was kind. David was there and helped me learn some of the basics which was very helpful- now I’ll be taking one on one classes with one of the other trainers (Joe)! They have a womens only class on Wednesday nights that I’m eager to try out as well. I got a great workout and also had a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend Peoria Muay Thai and the trainers to friends and family!
Luan Pham
Interned at Peoria for a summer and decided to join Muay Thai Peoria for 2 months. Very high quality and experienced coaches. People are friendly. They’d push you during sparring but make sure you learn and taken care of. Hands down best martial arts gym in Peoria. Highly recommend.
