The Old Guard Thai Boxing Club is honestly one of the best places to learn Muay Thai. The gym is amazing — clean, well-equipped, and has everything you need for great training sessions. The coaches are all so kind, full of positive energy, and truly care about every student. They patiently teach you from the basics to the advanced techniques, and always make sure you understand each step. The people here make it even more special. My training partners are not just teammates — they’ve become real friends who support and motivate me every day. Every moment I’ve spent at The Old Guard is filled with happiness and growth. Training here with such wonderful coaches and friends is something I’m truly grateful for. From Bee, with love.
I’ve been around Muay Thai for a decade (literally 10 years) because of my husband, but would always try out the gyms he was training at and never really got into it. I was more of a yoga gal. We moved to Austin a few years ago and he begged me give Muay Thai one more shot and try this new gym. I really didn’t want to go, but I’m so glad I gave it another shot. Ended up falling in love with the sport and the community. For such a violent sport, Coach Dave, Tiff and the other coaches make it a point to foster a safe, inclusive training environment. The amount of females that train here is a testament to that, and so is the energy you feel in the room every class. Happiest place on earth, some of us call it! If you want to be surrounded by good vibes and Muay Thai fans who want to not just level up themselves, but help each other level up in the sport in an ego-free zone, come join the club! This is also the best place to train at if you want to get better at clinch! 💥 Oh and coach feeds us bomb ass tacos once a month every first Saturday 🥹❤️
The Old Guard is a perfect gym for beginners or anyone with any level of Muay Thai experience. They even Email you a waiver before your trail class. The trainers let you drink water whenever you need to along with giving breaks in-between segments. You might tear up from all the hard work you put in. It’s because of how encouraging the community is. Everyone’s constantly working to meet each other at their skill level & improve them to their highest potential.
I dropped in for a class at this Muay Thai gym because my partner has been training here, and I’m so glad I did! The energy in the gym is fantastic. Coming from years of boxing and mixed martial arts, I can tell these coaches really know their stuff. They paired us appropriately for training and demonstrated impressive techniques. I learned so much in just an hour! The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making it easy to feel right at home. I’m thrilled my partner chose this gym—she's definitely getting the support she needs here! She might actually kick better than me since she started… I’m a little scared!
One of the coolest gyms around. The coaches are very interested in helping people learn and are passionate about what they do. From your first trial class they focus on fundamental techniques to set you up for success. This is an absolutely great sport, and requires a lot of physical demand, but you get out of it what you put in. The owners really care about your training and facilities as well. Over my years of training things have constantly shown this, from new bag holders, to new mats, to new pads. All to make sure everyone can train safely and enjoy their workouts. The people here are super chill too, one of the gym mottos don’t be a dick and it shows that people take this to heart by always helping the new people learn and not having a big ego. The amount stress relief I get from coming here keeps me going. I truly love The Old Guard and its people. Oh also taco Saturday’s are awesome..
