I am a 44 year old woman that has been attending Muay Thai classes and other related classes at Nak Muay for 6+ years. I have followed Kru Eric ( with my 19 year old daughter) to several locations and the reasons are simple,: 1. You learn the true martial art of Muay Thai. Form and technique 2. You get into excellent physical shape quickly. 3. You learn discipline and will have goals. 4. The instructing coaches are so helpful and build your self esteem 5. You feel like family with everyone there

I am a loyal student. I wouldn't drive about a hour to get there if I didn't feel it was worth the effort.

Not only does this gym have Muay Thai but they also have Brazilian JJ classes, conditioning classes that kick your fanny ( NOT to be compared to cardio kickboxing!! This is taught by fighters and you learn technique), there is also children's classes.



I must comment on a few reviews I read...

To the people that say they was bored in beginning and did other style martial arts so they found learning basics at Nak Muay Gym to take too long? I understand, but sometimes martial arts are similar and I often get a person sparring with me that is Tae Kwan do and the kicks are different or the stance is slightly different. I see all the beginners and realize it is repetitive, however, it is such a SHORT period. Don't be discouraged. We all are still learning, even the intermediate levels to the advanced...like me :)

Nak Muay Gym is hands down the best gym for all your Muay Thai, BJJ & Cardio Kickboxing needs. All the instructors are extremely experienced and well versed in their sport. Each instructor is there to help you reach your goals whatever it may be. I have been at Nak Muay in King of Prussia 7 months. First my intentions were to get fit and learn something while doing so. So I would take the kickboxing class (if you finish a kickboxing class you will be soak with sweat I guarantee it) to get in shape. I also took the Muay Thai classes because of my fascination with the sport, and I love it. Since a few months ago I also added BJJ to the mix and have fallen in love with the the sport. Nak Muay Gym is definitely worth it! I have lost 46 lbs in the 7 months I've been there and have a blast doing so. Just think I drive an hour each way 4 to 5 days a week to train there.

I have really enjoyed my two years at Nak Muay. While I have done many other sports throughout my life I had never really done any martial arts. I was looking for a tremendous challenge and found it there. I have done the Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and even the Jui Jitsui. The instructors really take the time to work with you one on one to make you better and drive toward you goals, whatever they may be. It actually becomes somewhat addictive to work out with these guys and elevate your skills. On behalf of the older dads from the Main Line, I have to say this is what you need and more. If you are ready to challenge yourself, I recommend you check this out.

Nak Muay Gym is the place to be in the Philadelphia area, whether you are an aspiring novice, amateur competitor, established pro, or even someone with a casual interest in martial arts looking for a great way to get in shape! I started with Kru Eric and Nak Muay Gym back in 2006 at it's original location in Chalfont, and have followed the gym to where it is at now in King of Prussia. The quality of instruction, ego free atmosphere, and friendly staff is impossible to beat. Whether you come to Nak Muay to simply have fun and stay in shape, or transform yourself into an MMA or Muay Thai competitor, the staff treats you with equal and respect and time. I started knowing nothing about Muay Thai, and signed up and won an amateur fight a few years later. It was quite the transformation, and I couldn't have done it without Nak Muay. If your on the fence about joining Nak Muay Gym, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot! You grow to love all the hard workouts, and before you know it, you wouldn't have it any other way.

My name is Dennis Nouansavanh. I have trained at NakMuay and they are teaching some very traditional authentic Muay Thai Techniques. Kru Eric Karner has trained under Yodtong Senanan ( MUAY THAI GRANDMASTER IN THAILAND) so everyone should be honored to learn the teachings he is passing on. I saw tremendous improvement on my defense and skills. My timing and overall skills got better. They push you hard and that's the only way it should be. We should gain skills and strength through hard work. Chok Dee

Nak Muay Gym is one of the few places where you can actually learn Authentic Muay Thai. I've been training in Muay Thai more than five years, and have trained in Thailand. I can tell when someone knows what they're doing, and Kru Eric definitely knows his stuff. The facility is large, and is well equipped. However, if you've ever trained anywhere in the past, you will realize that it's the people not the equipment that make a gym great. The trainers and fighters here are at a high level at what they do. Everyone there is respectful, friendly, and welcoming. I get great training here without getting hurt (This is how you can tell you're training with skilled fighters vs. people who don't know what they're doing.)

I have been at Nak Muay Gym for about a year and half now and let’s just say it changed my life forever. The owner and all the instructors are the nicest, most down to earth people around. They all have the experience and will be with you every step of the way. Since I have been there, I have lost about 110 lbs. I try to attend all of their classes and I can promise that you will like at least one of the classes offered if not all. This is the best gym in the area hands down. This is the type of gym where you can be at any point of your life and they will help you with setting goals and obtaining them. I would recommend Nak Muay to anyone. Do yourself a favor and stop your search for a gym right now and come check it out.

I've belonged to several different gyms before coming to Nak Muay, and this gym is by far my favorite. Not only does it have the best instructors but the students there are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The facility itself is very impressive with a full octagon and boxing ring as well as the tremendous amounts of mat space. I really feel like I'm part of a huge family of regular people all trying to better themselves. Nak Muay is the right place for anyone beginner to pro!

Nak Muay is hands down the best gym in the area for martial arts training. Not only is this gym is perfect for those who want to compete in MMA, Jiu Jitsu, or Muay Thai, but also for the people who just want to get into better shape and have a good time doing it. With professional instructors that have and still do compete at the highest levels of their respective sports, Nak Muay is the place to be if you want to get serious training.

I've trained at many MMA gyms and I've seen it all, but this school is by far the best! No B.S. the coaches are tested practitioners, they have competed or still do at professional levels. Don't be fooled by the guys who claim they can teach you every Martial Art under the sun. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or professional you will benefit greatly from training here!

Without a doubt, the best training available. I've been with Kru Eric for a very long time and have seen myself evolve just as much as I have seen Nak Muay Gym evolve as well. If you're looking for a way to break into one of the several marital arts offered or are an experienced competitor and want to take yourself to the next level, Nak Muay Gym will help you accomplish whatever yours goals may be. Kru Eric, the other coaches, and even the other members make the gym feel like a family and will always be happy to help you. Give them a call and stop in, I'm more than positive you will be glad you did.

Nak Muay is a world class gym, and a great place to train. It has a wide variety of classes, and allows you to advance at your own pace. Kru Eric Karner is extremely experienced in Muay Thai, and also has a professional staff. You wont find better intructors anywhere else. I've been training there for about 2.5 years total, but I've also been to other gyms and can confidently say Nak Muay is the real deal, and is an optimal place for both experienced fighters and beginners and anywhere in between.

Nak Muay Gym is hands down the best place to learn and grow as a martial artists! The gym is clean the staff is extremely knowledgeable, and the students are very welcoming!

I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA for 8 years and just started to train at Nak Muay over the last year. My kickboxing and striking has improved greatly over this time and I feel more comfortable while sparring. Not only that but I always have a good time while their since the training is serious but everyone's attitude is relaxed. If you are looking to get into BJJ, Muay Thai, or MMA this is a great place.

I'm always on the lookout for people and places that can give me something new to learn, since I'm always looking to develop myself as a well-rounded fighter. When I came upon the Nak Muay Gym, I was immediately impressed by the facilities and instruction offered, and I soon found myself regularly training here. The people are nice and accommodating, and not only am I developing my skills, I'm also having a good time training here. I'd recommend the Nak Muay Gym to anybody, from fellow MMA enthusiasts to beginners who want to know what it's all about.

I never thought Muay Thai could make that much of a difference in my life. All my life I've never really been into sports, but that was up until I found out about Nak Muay. Now I go there all the time. I'm actually thinking about getting training for competition-level Muay Thai now.

I get an awesome amount of exercise every time I work out at the Nak Muay Gym. I've never been this interested in physical activities, but I really have to say I'm having a lot of fun with all the different training exercises. I've lost about 20 lbs already in the first 3 months I've been working out with them, and I'm only a few pounds away from my target weight.
