Welcome to Western Muay Thai

We are a Sunnyvale-based striking program founded in 2023 with a focus on Western Style Muay Thai.   

What is “Western Style Muay Thai'' you might ask. In traditional Muay Thai there is a heavy emphasis on clinch and elbow strikes however, in the West, Muay Thai practitioners shifted that focus to punches and kicks, incorporating what they already knew about kickboxing into Muay Thai. This led to the rise of Western style Muay Thai, which focuses more on aggression and staying light on your feet, as opposed to the more traditional flat-footed, counter attacking style.

 Western Muay Thai offers striking classes six days a week with classes in the morning and evening. Although we pride ourselves on challenging and realistic training methods, we have classes for students of all levels – from beginners to seasoned competitors, and everyone in between.   

Western Muay takes safety and hygiene seriously. We maintain clean bathrooms and training areas for our students, and we encourage a strong collective effort to keep our training environments sanitary, with everyone doing their part to keep food and shoes off the mats, and keeping ourselves and our gear clean. This way, we ensure that our training partners will be back tomorrow.
