Chaiyo Muay Thai at 12260 San Pablo Avenue b, Richmond, California.

Master Cheetah and his family are phenomenal. It's a little place right off the freeway on San Pablo Ave. Joining a gym like this can be a little bit scary, but really don't be nervous, everyone is much friendlier than you could imagine. You can be you here, learn interesting things, and move in ways you haven't before with balance and power. The instructors are patient, courteous, and for real. Muay Thai is an amazing and practical martial art with many different dimensions to explore. It's the standup game in MMA, it's Thailand's national sport as a boxing/kickboxing type event, and it's a deadly martial art for self defense and close combat through Muay Boran. I've been a student here for years, I'm on the old and fat side, but I love when I get to go to class. I recommend this place for health and fitness, but also for MMA fighters to improve their standup, kick efficiency and clinch work. There are many different classes for different skillsets. I personally really like Friday night sparring and duking it out with my new friends that want to respectfully do the same. :-)

Kru Chaiyo and all instructor are very professional ..
