Muay Thai in Northern VA

[HokieRider]

New to the site and the sport. Did a search on the forum but couldn't really find a good answer for where I am.

Does anyone know of a good place to study Muay Thai in the northern VA area? I'm located in Springfield, but anything in NOVA is fair game.

Thanks all!!

I know there are a couple of Muay Thai programs in the area. I think one is run through the LA Boxing franchise in Chantilly, and there may be another at a gym in Manassas (sorry, the gym's name escapes me at the moment). Try some web searches using terms like "Muay Thai", "Kickboxing", and approriate cities (Herndon, Springfield, Chantilly, etc.)

I'm not sure how these work in terms of proximity for you but both of these gyms are good quality places.

in Sterling. Kru Brooks promotes fights in the area and has a really good rep as
well.

good luck!

Capital Jiu-Jitsu Academy is always a great place to go by the Gracie family. Haven't been there yet but my cousin is currently training there and says that the instruction is excellent!


Check it out!

If you want to check out a close cousin of MT, check out these guys. I have no association with this school, but I do know they turn out good fighters:

Thanks for the advice.

I saw the Trident website earlier, but you never really know how good a place is. Much appreciated.

I've come across this school in my searching for the area:
Muay Thai Association U.S.A. Suriyasak Thai Boxing Gym
They're supposed to be right in springfield, but I havent been able to find anything about them online other than that they exist.

I'd love to know if that place works out Damen. We've paused our search a bit, but I'm still interested in finding a good place.
