What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Alena Munro
"As someone who had zero martial arts training before attending Khaoboy Thaiboxing & BJJ Academy, I can honestly say that the training here is amazing. All the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, kind, encouraging, and challenging in the best way. As an educator myself, I deeply appreciate how all the coaches differentiate instruction based on the ability levels of all in the class. Whether it is your first class or you’ve been training for years, the coaches at Khaoboy have created an environment for all to learn and grow. I can’t recommend this place enough!"
Gordon Hanovice
"Great people, correct accurate training and sparring skills at work. It has a family atmosphere. This is the first place I’ve been since living in Astoria that checks all the boxes. International talent, regular people who want to learn, amazing workout routine that allows for shadow boxing, new techniques. I love that there is a dojo/gym in LI where you kick punch and grapple your teammates without malice , with the intent on learning and bettering yourself. Real deal without the attitude!"
Brian Sisco
"Best authentic Muay Thai gym on LI! Been a member since the gym opened. All coaches have tons of experience, love the sport, and most importantly actually care about every student. All the members are very welcoming and many knowledgeable as well. Whatever your goal is when joining, this is the spot where you can achieve it."
José Antonio Villatoro
"An incredible gym with even more incredible people! As a member for over a year now, joining Khaoboy has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I walked in knowing nothing about either discipline and through the amazing teaching I've received from Coaches Emilio, Pat, Dave and others, I have grown more than I ever expected. Not to mention, the other members of the gym contribute to a welcoming, stress free environment for everyone regardless of whether your goal is simply fitness and fun or competition. So come on in, you won't regret it!"
