Ambush Muay Thai - Muay Thai boxing gym in Austin - 13581 Pond Springs Rd #315, USA

Visited Austin for the weekend and took the free trial at Ambush. It was awesome and I would definitely recommend checking this gym out. I've been training Muay Thai and MMA for ~ 2-3 years now and this gym is great for learning Muay Thai and striking. The coaches (Sean and Elton) were very helpful and friendly. Everyone in the class was there to learn and get better. Will be coming back when I'm in Austin again.

Gym is fantastic and the people are very welcoming. The training is great and they watch for your form and have no problems repeating steps or answering questions about it. Probably all around the best gym you could go to start your journey into MMA or even specifically Muay Thai. I would’ve kept going but job changes put theirs and my schedule at a conflict as their classes or later in the day. If they had morning classes I’d keep going. Summary: If you are new and in the area go to a free class. You’ll be welcomed and fit in.

Ambush Muay Thai became my home away from home, where Jenna, Elton, and Sean crafted an atmosphere of genuine warmth. Traveling from Montreal to train with Jason in Krabi-Krabong, I heeded his recommendation to join Elton's Muay Thai classes—loved every moment. Jason's clinch class is a hidden gem, an experience you simply can't afford to miss. If you're fortunate enough to live nearby, give it a shot; it's a journey of no regrets. Trust me, coming all the way from Montreal, it's absolutely worth it!

Great place for beginners! The structure and coaching lay a strong foundation to build up from. I’d definitely recommend coming in with shin guards along with your gloves. Lots of veteran players here too. Definitely a good place if you’re looking to stay sharp/get sharper.

I have been coming to this gym for a little over two years, and I couldn’t be happier. The community here at Ambush is a kind and supportive one, filled with people who want to improve, and who want to see that their peers do the same. All the staff are patient and attentive, offering technical advice that has vastly improved my fight game since I started. Elton Wells, the head coach at Ambush has developed an extremely effective and practical system of fighting that is creating world-class champions like you’ve never seen before. I have made many friends here and have learned so much, and If I had to go back in time and do it all over, I wouldn’t change a thing.

If you’re on the fence on trying it out just do it you won’t regret it, you’ll have fun, get a great workout and discipline. And if you’re not into that you’ll sweat so much you can use it as a good excuse to buy a pizza for yourself which is what I would 😉 Go ahead and sign up! You won’t regret it

Started training here a year and a half ago with zero experience in martial arts (& sports in general tbh). Took a while to work up the courage but turns out I had nothing to worry about. I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and supportive bunch & the instruction is top notch from all the coaches! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned fighter; whether you want to compete or just get in shape & make some cool friends. It’s the best. *** Intro lesson is FREE *** Come check it out!

I have greatly enjoyed my time training at Ambush Muay Thai and would recommend this gym to anyone looking to train, especially those new to the sport. Elton and his team are not only excellent teachers and coaches, but have done a great job in fostering a friendly, fun and inviting atmosphere in the gym. As someone with 0 martial arts experience prior to Ambush, I felt quite intimidated on my way to my first class, but I immediately felt welcomed by the instructors and the other students. Everyone from fellow newbies to veterans was kind, patient, and friendly, and was happy and willing to answer my questions and explain movements to me. The gym is full of people of all shapes, sizes, and walks of life, and everyone is happy to lend a hand and make you feel included from Day 1. Elton and his team have built a great thing at Ambush, and I would encourage anyone who has even a passing interest in trying Muay Thai to reach out to them to set up an intro class.
