It’s been almost 3 years since I started Muay Thai at Hard Knocks and I can’t say enough great things about this place. Ranging from new students to professional fighters, the atmosphere at Hard Knocks is unbeatable. The trainers are as professional as it comes. I promise you will not find a better striking gym in New England.

This gym has actively produced World Champion kickboxers, cornered and guided UFC fighters as well as educates and safely trains our youth and adult population in a way that is educational, FUN, traditional and most importantly effective. Muay Thai is a effective self-defense tool that will not only keep you safe but most importantly get you fit and feeling in the best shape of your life. I am a martial arts school owner and I travel 1 hour and 30 minutes to be able to train and share knoweledge with these wonderful people

I have been training here 3 to 5 times a week for nearly 3 years now. Excellent real Muay Thai instruction. Bill the gym owner has been part of the Muay Thai scene in New England since the early 90's, and Jake who runs most of the classes is an absolute encyclopedia of Muay Thai knowledge and fight IQ, and has the ability to teach to prove it. The new location on 63 Sprague Street in Hyde Park is a total game changer, it has much more space for more equipment, more students, more everything. There is even a full 22 foot boxing ring, very nice. Even if you have NO interest in becoming a fighter or fighting, you will have a blast, get in an excellent FUN workout, and be welcomed with open arms. Learn a new skill, get in shape, make some great friends. Highly recommended.
