Why Sick Side

Real Muay Thai. Real Coaching. Real Results.

There's a difference between a fitness class that borrows Muay Thai moves and a gym built by people who actually fight. Here's what sets Sick Side apart.

Authentic Training

Traditional Thai methodology combined with Western boxing fundamentals — not a diluted, fitness-class version of Muay Thai.

Experienced Coaches

Our instructors are practitioners, competitors, and coaches with real fight experience — not certified in a weekend.

Structured Progression

New students start in Beginner/Basics classes and build real skill before moving into our full program — no guesswork, no getting thrown in the deep end.

A Real Community

Train alongside people who show up, push each other, and take the sport seriously — beginners included.

Our Story

Rooted in Sityodtong. Built for Los Angeles.

Sick Side Muay Thai is an authentic Muay Thai gym blending traditional Thai methodology with Western boxing fundamentals. We take a no-nonsense approach to training while believing the process should be challenging, rewarding, and enjoyable.

Our focus is on teaching real technique, real application, and real results—whether for self-defense, fitness, or competition. Our lineage traces back to the world-renowned Sityodtong style of Thailand, refined and adapted for the modern Western fight game.

Our instructors bring years of experience as practitioners, competitors, and coaches, with proven success inside and outside the ring. We welcome all levels and believe Muay Thai is more than a martial art—it's a gateway to a healthier body, a stronger mind, and a more confident version of yourself.

Programs

Structured Training For Every Stage.

Whether you're stepping onto the mats for the first time or training toward competition, Sick Side has a clear path forward — built to develop real skill at every level.

Beginner/Basics

Your entry point into Muay Thai. Beginner/Basics classes teach proper stance, striking mechanics, and defense from the ground up — no experience required, and no pressure to keep pace with anyone else. Every student starts here, regardless of where you want to take your training.

Full Program

Once you've built a foundation in Beginner/Basics, you move into our full class schedule — Pad Work, Skills & Drills, Technique/Pad Work, Clinch Class, and Sparring. This is where technique sharpens, conditioning builds, and real skill develops through consistent training alongside the rest of the team.

Competition Team

There's no separate class for Competition Team — you don't sign up for it, you step up to it. If you want to compete and represent Sick Side, this is the standard you hold yourself to:

You're the standard now. Everyone on the team is watching how you train, and that means showing up for Clinch Class and Sparring — not just the classes you like.
Put in work outside the gym. Resistance training, running — that's on you, on your own time.
Talk to your coaches. If something's going on that could affect your training or your fight, we need to hear it from you first.
You're not just fighting for yourself. You're representing your teammates, your coaches, and Sick Side every time you step in the ring.

Private Training

One-on-one coaching for focused, accelerated progress. Private sessions are scheduled directly with a coach based on their availability — not a set class time — so the pace and focus are built entirely around your goals.

Community

We Push Each Other To Get Better.

Sick Side isn't a big-box gym where you fade into the background. When a beginner improves, the whole team gets stronger — so helping each other, and holding ourselves and each other to a higher standard, is just how we train. Step in to help someone earn their next level, and you sharpen your own game doing it.

"Muay Thai is the best therapy, and Sick Side is the place to train it in LA. I came here for real training—and I found it. The technique, the intensity, the structure—it's all there. But what really made me stay was the atmosphere and the people. It's focused, welcoming, and built on consistency and care. No ego, no shortcuts—just the kind of environment where you can actually grow."

"I am beyond appreciative of the environment here. Coming in (as a smaller woman) was intimidating, but everyone was incredibly welcoming and you warm up to the group fast. The classes are well structured, with an emphasis on teamwork and discipline. It's not easy and you learn a ton, but everything is digestible and can be picked up with time. Overall, I highly recommend this studio for anyone!"

"One of the best GYMs I've ever trained at. Welcoming and friendliest people I've ever met. My Muay Thai skill set has improved immensely these last couple of months. Coach Paul, Oscar, and Geno have some of the most technical and Fight IQ out there."
