Our instructors are truly world-class—certified professional Muay Thai trainers, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts and champions, and experienced professional MMA fighters. We even have MMA champions who compete on television. Simply put, the coaching staff at Nak Muay Gym is a step above the rest.
So what does that mean for a beginner? It means you won’t waste time learning from “self-proclaimed experts” or trendy “Krav Maga” imitators. You’ll learn battle-tested techniques from the source—taught by coaches who’ve been in the trenches of real fights and know what actually works under pressure.
Not all self-defense classes are created equal. Many schools in the Lehigh Valley are still traditional karate programs that rebranded to ride the MMA wave. A lot of what they teach is outdated—and in a real-world situation, it can fall apart fast. Our MMA and self-defense programs are different: practical, proven, and built for real life.
