I have Been coming to JMT for years and Giles is more than just a coach but a dedicated mentor who has only helped developed my passion for martial arts and combat sports even more than when I started at 10 years old. Along with such a great instructor, the atmosphere at JMT is unlike any other gym and/or martial arts school I’ve trained at; it’s completely non ego and puts an emphasis on humbling yourself and respecting everyone’s background and the reasons why each people come to train. JMT is a place where people can feel part of a family while learning a lot about themselves and what they’re capable of. JMT is also a very traditional gym where we learn about the culture surrounding Muay Thai and the value it has in improving your everyday life. I could go on, but you should definitely come by and check it out for yourself!

Great place to get kids of all ages involved in martial arts! Here is why: 1) the gym is large! There are many components of fitness that are used. Cardio, footwork, balance, hitting bags or shields - many many elements that keep the kids engaged. 2) the teachers are masters at keeping the kids engaged. They know all the tricks to keep attention and focus which is a real challenge with today’s kids. 3) the fitness component is good but the kids are not throwing up or being hammered by the workouts. They are working hard but at a fu level. It’s appropriate for the age of the child. The staff is friendly and there is a positive culture there. You can watch the workouts from the lobby or leave and come back. With social distancing there is plenty of room on the lobby to see the class and keep distance from other parents.

I have been going to Jax Muay Thai for about 7 months now and it has more than exceeded my expectations. The staff/coaches are very friendly, supportive and knowledgeable about the sport. From the moment you first step foot in the gym you feel welcome and part of a community/brotherhood. You go at your own pace and the coaches are very attentive to helping you improve your technique and ability. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an experienced veteran, everyone is welcome and can learn something. You learn discipline, respect and integrity. It improves you physically and mentally, I extremely recommend Jax Muay Thai to anyone who desires to make a change for the better in their life!!

Amazing place for aspiring fighters and even those that just want to stretch and work out in martial arts. Jax Muay Thai has very supportive coaches and trainers. Their championship wins make them a breeding ground for the best Muay Thai fighters nationally and internationally. Jax Muay Thai is great place for families, too. Classes for the whole family include stretching exercises and private lessons with ballerina/Muay Thai enthusiast Hilly, training one-on-one with Coach Giles, sparring with fighters Omar and Austin, etc. Check them out and have fun getting skilled in Muay Thai!

I'm genuinely thrilled with my decision to join this Muay Thai gym. Despite having zero experience with coaches or martial arts, the entire staff, from the welcoming front desk to Coach Mike, who also happens to be the owner, has created an incredibly enjoyable workout experience. The classes are not just a physical workout but also an authentic Muay Thai learning journey. I'm already witnessing significant improvements in my skills and physical abilities. Massive thanks to the entire staff for making this experience so rewarding!

One of the best places in Jacksonville to get the real Muay Thai Training. Khru Giles has over 20 years of experience teaching martial artists and fighters. His students and fight team are awesome to train with. There are no egos in that gym. The kids program is amazing and the kids have a blast training. The facility has everything you need like ring, heavy bags, weight room, turf grass in the back to for sprints and sled work and most importantly clean working bathrooms with showers. I highly recommend coming here.

I have the pleasure of training at Jax Muay Thai and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff and trainers were remarkably friendly and supportive. They encourage beginners and seasoned fighters alike. Whether you’re a beginner like me looking to try something new, or more advanced looking for a gym to train at, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Jax Muay Thai a try! It’s a great experience and a great community to be around!!

I started taking classes back in 2017 with a desire to self defend myself for any future situations. I travel a lot around the world dancing so it was important to me then to know how to protect myself. now I am teaching stretching and conditioning classes here to a community that I consider family. I highly recommend this place not only for getting into shape but joining a tribe of really amazing people that each have very beautiful stories to share.

I've been training here off an on for a little over a year now. I've had the privilege to train in Thailand, and Jax Muay Thai is the closest you'll get to train authentic Muay Thai in Jacksonville. Kru Giles and Brandon are great and they really work on the technical aspects of the art which is one of the reasons I like it there. Everyone that trains there is personable and friendly which makes for a close nit/family like atmosphere.

I can't say enough about this gym! The whole family has been going for over a year and it has been awesome. We have kids ages 4, 7, & 15. The younger ones attend the kids classes and our 15 yr old daughter trains with us. My wife was never a fan of working out but she loves it. Both Kru Giles & Brandon are great teachers & coaches and everyone is made to feel welcome regardless of skill level.

I started one year ago at JMT with zero experience. I had multiple lower back injuries coming in and was unsure how much I could take. With diligent stretching and strengthening of legs, hips and core that comes with training I am better off than when I began. When you take classes here you’re learning at all levels from experienced fighters. Best competitive Muay Thai gym in town.

I recently started training under John A. back in November. I must say he’s an awesome personal trainer. He takes his time to make sure you grasp everything he’s teaching you! Nothing short of positive encouragement as well. Gym is great and the people who come and go are very nice. 10/10, I will be signing up for sessions again, once they are over.

This place is horrible. Came in for a scheduled introduction session and was made to wait for over an hour because the instructor forgot. The gloves they gave me to work with were all sweaty and nasty. Instructor also seemed disinterested and unenthusiastic about teaching anything. Overall a terrible experience

Moved to Jacksonville and didn’t know much of any one. Jax Muay Thai not only provided a great place to get authentic and challenging training that doubles as a great workout, but also is somewhere that allows you to be a part of a welcoming community of people from all walks of life and skill levels.

If you want to learn traditional Muay Thai in Florida and become part of a family, this is the place to be. Work hard and ask questions, the trainers at JMT have proven experience and are always willing to help and teach. Don't be afraid to ask!!

Jax Muay Thai is the best place on the first coast so far that's solely dedicated to teaching muay thai. They also have Coach Nate Campbell as the resident boxing coach so if you're looking to really improve your striking, this place is it.

Kru Giles and the JMT crew are amazing. There’s so much knowledge here. If you’re looking for an authentic Muay Thai experience, this is the place. I’ve lived in Jacksonville for about a year and JMT has been the absolute highlight.

Very welcoming to new folks, I walked in with absolutely zero martial arts experience and didn't feel intimidated or out of place. The coaches and other athletes were patient and instructive, really happy with my decision to join.

Seemed like a nice facility with nice staff, but the schedule for adults is a little ridiculous if you work. Are you saying the officers and veterans are too good to let me train in their presence when I'm willing to pay? Silly

You’re not going to find a better Muay Thai gym in Jacksonville! I’ve only been going for a few months but everyone is welcoming and humble, the coaches have an abundance of knowledge and experience in the art of Muay Thai!

You couldn't ask for a better group of people, and instructors to train with. Whether you are a beginner, or have trained all your life, you will love this gym!! Learn REAL Muay Thai, as is is taught in Thailand!!

Excellent gym excellent instructors. You get what you put in. If you want to learn authentic Muay Thai and get a great workout this is the place for you.

Very friendly place, awesome people. You always feel welcome. If you want to work out or discover Thai Boxing, this is the place. I highly recommand it.

The most authentic Muay Thai gym you will find in the area. The entire staff is very knowledgeable and polite. They will make you feel at home.

Hands down - Best striking gym in Jax. My only regret is living 45 rush hour minutes away in Riverside. Please open a sister location here!

Bring your friends, get fit, and have fun. Maybe you can cheer this guy up! Always great people and great instructors. Highly recommended.

Best club to train in town. Try it once and you will be hooked. Kru Giles and Brandon are encouraging, supportive and amazing teachers!

Home of the Legends. Nate Campbell, Moises Droz and Vladdy Daddy all approve! 5 Stars all the way! Ask for Giles when you come!

All the coaches/staff are great and very welcoming environment for beginners. 10/10 would recommend

Awesome staff, very welcoming. The class was loads of fun and I didn't feel intimidated to attend.

Good variety of classes, experienced instructors, great people and awesome vibe. Love it there!

I like to go to the women's class I feel comfortable and I learn to defend myself

Very friendly, patient with new people. Lots of opportunities to train.

Good people. Good training. Lots of experience in the sport. Love it.
