Which Muay Thai gyms near Boston are good for getting in shape?
Brazilian Martial Arts Center (BMAC), at 700 Mystic Avenue in Somerville, runs all-levels adult Muay Thai six days a week, with mornings, lunchtimes and evenings, and the first class is free. A Muay Thai class works your whole body while teaching a real striking skill.
A Muay Thai class combines bag work, pad work and conditioning with technique: punches, kicks, knees, elbows and the clinch. You get a hard full-body workout, and you leave with a skill you can keep improving.
Current adult class times:
- Monday and Wednesday: 7am, 6pm and 8pm
- Tuesday and Thursday: 11am and 6pm
- Friday: 6pm and 8pm
- Saturday: 11am
See the full class schedule.
Classes are taught by head instructor Marcelo Siqueira, a former South American kickboxing champion, along with black prajioud instructors Victor Pereira and Douglas Campbell.
BMAC has memberships for Brazilian jiu-jitsu, for Muay Thai, or for both.
