Do i need to register for a class before attending?

Before your first class, call us at (415)359-9294 or email hello@cmasf.net so we can direct you to the right class based on your skill level. Online registration is otherwise not required.

what do i need for my first class?

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring water. Be prepared to be barefoot on the mats. Gloves are available to borrow for your first classes.

how much experience do i need for intermediate/advanced/sparring classes?

Everyone has a different timeline for progress depending on your frequency of training and athletic ability. We recommend at least 6 months of consistent training or approval from an instructor before attending advanced classes. Private lessons are a great way to boost your progression and further develop skills needed for advanced classes.

do i need my own equipment for class?

All equipment needed for class is available to loan. However, gloves should be purchased within the first few classes, if you choose to sign up. We have a variety of brands and price ranges of equipment for sale in our pro shop.

how much physical contact is involved?

In the beginner, all level, and intermediate classes there is no direct physical contact. However, you will be expected to hold pads for your partner, as being a good partner will help improve your Muay Thai technique. Advanced, drilling, and sparring classes do involved physical contact, but are always supervised by an instructor in a controlled environment.

Do you offer private one-on-one sessions?

Yes. Private sessions are either 30 or 60 minutes long. They can cover a wide range of topics to suit your needs. We specialize in 1-hour “technical tune-ups” to improve technique and help understand your progression. 30-minute sessions include padwork and are more focused on fitness with boxing and muay thai techniques. Private sessions are available for beginners to competitors, and non-members.
