Once you joined Chaiyo Muay Thai, you would instantly feel like you are part of the team! I was very shy and intimidated when I first joined, but shortly after, Master & Mrs. Cheetah made me feel very welcomed. They teach authentic muay thai skills and techniques and they are very patient especially with new people. ChaiYo made me lose weight, and gained family & friends. :)

New to Muaythai and never liked cardio but this place changed my workout routine forever.Master Cheetah is the man!! People are friendly and nice. This gym made me realize how weak my knees and ankles even though I lift weights on regular basis. Now I go there every chance I have and I feel good. Also, it is fun.

I always look forward to training at Chaiyo! Master Cheetah and all the instructors/staff have created an awesome environment; everyone is positive and likes to have fun while still pushing you hard and teaching proper techniques. The space and equipment are great, and the other students are friendly and helpful.I'd highly recommended giving them a try if you're interested in muay Thai - whether you're a complete beginner or have prior training, you'll be feeling at home in no time.

I've checked out many gyms in the Bay Area in search of an authentic Muay Thai gym and I have to say Chaiyo is the one for me! Master Cheetah(who brought MT to the bay area since the 70's and is seen as the original bay area MT master) and Miss Cheetah are extremely kind and accommodating so don't be shy if you're a beginner. They adjust classes to the students' skill level and is the most non-ego driven and respectful gym I've ever been to. Very versatile classes, they offer many child/youth classes as well as beginner to competitive muay thai level training. Lots of sparring sessions too.I've been here about 5 months but already made many friends and know most of the people here, everyone is really nice and it really feels like a family. No one is trying to hurt anyone, just helping each other improve in the art of 8 limbs. My Muay Thai has improved greatly thanks to everyone at Chaiyo and I highly recommend it for all skill levels if you are humble and respectful to others and are passionate about martial arts.

As a martial art enthusiast, I was very picky finding places to train in Muay Thai. Thank goodness I found an authentic Muay Thai gym that is fruitful in its culture. I remember calling a few gyms including Chaiyo, and Master Cheetah called me back instantly. I loved his energy, and how welcoming he is. Months after, I can feel myself improving. Fitness classes are a killer! People there are very friendly. Come by, sign up, and train with us!

Upon walking in, I got to see the kids training and I was impressed how well-disciplined the kids were. This was my first time ever trying out a self defense class. At first I was nervous because I didn't know what to expect but Master Cheetah welcomed me with a smile and made me feel very comfortable. The class was maybe about 20 students and they went at a pace that I could keep up with. For just one class, I learned to round-house kick and throw punches and kicks confidently because Master Cheetah was there to guide me through it. I'm still thinking about joining because I live in Vallejo and it's a bit far but I highly recommend this place if you're looking for self defense classes or even a good workout!

I was searching for a Muay Thai class near me and came by Chaiyos on Yelp. This was the closest one to Vallejo that seemed like a good fit for me. Initially, I went there in person but no one was there so I left a message on their line. Master Cheetah called me back within a couple of hours and he was friendly and answered all of my questions. He even set me up for a drop in class the following day to check it out ($30). I was excited! From the get and just talking to him on the phone for less than 10 minutes, I knew he was a great guy! *So for anyone trying to get information, if the academy is not open or do not pick up the phone, leave a message because someone will contact you and I highly believe either in a a couple of hours or the same day. First day, I finally got to meet Master Cheetah in person including Mrs. Cheetah and they are SO WELCOMING! Immediately walking into the academy and meeting everyone, they were all nice and you get a strong family vibe. This is the type of academy I KNEW I would want to be a part of. They prepped me before starting class such as wrapping my hands, providing me with loaner gloves, and letting me know that I can go at my own pace. Class?! AMAZING! What a work out! I LOVED IT! We did warm ups, was introduced to the fighting stance, learned punches, kicks, and combos, and practiced them on the bags and with other beginners. FUN! Even if I was breaking a constant sweat hahaha Master Cheetah and the instructor were checking in on us to see if we were getting it and would offer us advice on how to improve as we were learning and practicing. Awesome teachers! I did not feel pressure to get it perfect right away and comfortable to ask them questions. After class, I felt stronger and wanted to do more. Honestly, I signed up right after class hahaha I can't wait for what the future holds! I'm planning my calendar of which classes to attend right after I conclude this review hahaha

I've been training here for around 5 years. This is like my second home. Everyone is friendly and helpful. In a few months I was able to get toned. 5 stars for team work 5 stars for clean equipment 10 stars for the friendships I've made throughout the years.
