Old Gaurd Thai boxing club is a great place to train the owners, and the coaches alike are friendly, humble, patient and very knowledgeable As a former member with over 47 years in fighting arts and has been blessed to train with some of the best in the world. I can assure you old guard is one of the best I had the opportunity to train with! whether your goal is to get into shape or compete The old guard will get you there.!

Absolutely fantastic place to train. All of the coaches are knowledgeable and go out of their way to be helpful. There’s a great mix of all levels at the gym as well. You’ll have a great experience whether you’re just starting to train or already have been for years. This translates to the sparring culture as well - no egos, just fun while trying hard One of my favorite parts of this gym is how thoughtful they are about the curriculum. Everything they have you do is well thought out and intentional. each week builds off the last in a way that’s very rewarding on top of being very effective I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about this place, the staff, or the community. They also have some absolutely killer merch!

If you're in Austin and want to train Muay Thai, look no further—Old Guard is the place to be. As an out-of-towner visiting ATX for work, I was looking for a gym to continue my training without any interruptions. After researching a few places online, I settled on wanting to check out the Old Guard, and was so glad I did. Reaching out via email, I got a lightning quick response from the owner, Dave. He mentioned the Friday classes were 'tough, but fun' and would allow me to drop in. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The team at Old Guard knows their stuff and has serious Muay Thai credentials. The gym itself was super clean, well-equipped, and had everything you could need. Everyone in the class was welcoming and friendly—no egos here. Bonus points for the Taylor Swift shrine, which added a fun, lighthearted touch to the space. It was a reminder that while you're there to work hard, you can still enjoy yourself. Hoping its not too long before I get the chance to visit again! Shout out to Coach Spencer—he not only knows his stuff, but is also just a super cool dude.

If you're looking for the best Muay Thai gym in Austin, Texas, you've found it! It's a welcoming environment to learn authentic Muay Thai, whether you're a total beginner or an experienced Nak Muay. The Old Guard Thai Boxing Club is a bright, clean, spacious Thai Boxing gym that's professionally run. Those new to the art of eight limbs are welcomed with extra attention, unlike many big box kickboxing studios where people aren't given enough attention and just practice with bad form for months or sometimes years. I appreciated how diverse and friendly the members and staff were on my first visit. I was visiting from out of town at a business conference and did a drop in class; I was welcomed into their more experienced pad rounds class and found the combinations we worked on to reflect real life experience from competing in the ring. Even if you're only a beginner or doing it for fitness or fun, it's important to train with technically proficient coaches to learn correct technique to avoid injury - repeatedly doing it wrong at cardio kickboxing gyms often causes repetitive use injuries. The other thing that attracted me to The Old Guard is they have brought in world class Thai fighters such as Stamp Fairtex, Supergirl Jaroonsak, and I believe Ognjen Topic will be coming this Fall 2024. This is the sign of a gym that invests in elevating the instructional quality for their fighters, coaches, and recreational members. Thanks for the hospitality!

These guys are the real deal, authentic Thai style and great conditioning. I'm a competition fighter visiting from Sacramento and needed a good place to train during my stay. The owner, coaches, and students are all great people who have been extremely friendly/welcoming. The technique they teach is on point and fundamentally solid. For all my fighters out there looking for a high level gym or anybody looking to get started I highly recommend this spot. Even if you're just looking to train for fun or get in shape this gym is your best bet in Austin Texas.
