Wear loose, athletic clothing that allows you to move freely and comfortably. Bring a water bottle — we have a refill station available. If you'd like to bring hand wraps, you're welcome to, though they are not required. Most importantly, bring a can-do attitude and get ready to sweat!

While we don't label many classes as "beginner-only," every class is structured to support all experience levels. At the start of each class, everyone warms up together, then the class is split into beginner-focused and more advanced groups — each with its own instructor to ensure appropriate pacing, coaching, and training intensity.

You don't need any prior experience to get started at Muok Boxing.

We encourage everyone to attend as often as possible — if it were up to us, we'd see you every day! But we understand that life is busy, and we celebrate that. We'll see you whenever you can make it. A good baseline for beginners is 3 sessions per week, which gives your body enough stimulus to improve while allowing time to recover.

When you're first checking out Muok, you're welcome to use our loaner gloves and shin guards. However, as you continue training, we strongly encourage you to invest in your own gloves, shin guards, and a mouthguard for hygiene and a better fit.

We do things differently. We know that walking into a martial arts gym for the first time can feel intimidating — that's why we prioritize fun, an easy-going atmosphere, and avoiding unnecessary seriousness.

Whether you want to develop your Muay Thai skills, get a great workout, or pursue competitive goals, we've built an environment that is respectful, kind, and welcoming to everyone.

Our strong emphasis on safety sets us apart too. Andy, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over a decade of Muay Thai experience, ensures our training is technique-focused and injury-conscious — so you can train hard and train long.

At this time, we do not offer drop-in classes for regular visitors. Our classes rely heavily on partner work and progressive skill development — knowing exactly who is part of our community allows coaches to ensure appropriate pairings, proper instruction, and a high standard of safety for everyone.

Muok (pronounced like "mook") is inspired by the Vietnamese word mượt, which means "smooth." We aim to embody the true art and beauty of Muay Thai — emphasizing smoothness, technical skill, and fluid movement. Qualities we strive for every class.
