Only was able to make it out to this gym once for a fight night. But they are very friendly and have a great energy. The Kru did a great job in making me feel welcome and even offered advice on stuff I could work on. If I was in the area I would definitely train with these guys. Legit mauy Thai and fun environment. Keep it up guys!

I was taken back by the unprofessionalism and lack of experience and the lack of direction and teaching. They mad me spar some 13 year old kid the first day he was there and bloodied my nose. The owner J.T. told me I have thought u the language and now it is time to speak and threw me into open sparring with strangers my second day there. A dirty smelly gym with no leadership.

Kru, thank you for giving your all to your students each and every class. In just a few short weeks of training I have noticed a big difference in my childs confidence and her skills. She is hitting and kicking harder and with purpose. Kru pours his heart into his students. Lake Norman Muay Thai is the best!

Love this gym. It has and continues to add positivity to my life in so many ways. Extremely talented fighters, Extremely talented Instructors and an overall amazing environment for men and women of ALL AGES and all skill levels. I can’t say enough about all the instructors, my team mates and all the great people that I train/learn with on a regular basis. Without any question, the best Muay Thai Gym in the area. As legit as they come, real deal traditional Muay Thai. Much love and respect for Kru JT Smith, Kru Matt, Kru Sean and all the other members of my team who have truly become my friends

Kru JT Smith is very experienced and has experienced Muay Thai practitioners working with him. I started learning Muay Thai about 10 months ago, and I love the intensity of the workout. It mixes cardio with strength training and conditioning. All in one place.
Everyone is very respectful and we all learn at our own pace. Lake Norman Muay Thai offers classes for children, youth and adults. I work out there with my husband, and it's great bonding time for us. There are parents and children who do this together as well.
If Thai Kickboxing piques your interest, you should definitely check them out

JT is a rare mixture of integrity, good humor, and knowledge that he is eager to share with people to help them to better themselves and/or protect themselves by learning various skills and using our minds. His willingness to interact with members from young to old shows his versatility and patience. I highly recommend checking out Lake Norman Muay Thai.
