Toronto Kickboxing & Muay Thai Academy (TKMT Downtown)

Expérience fantastique: Our child attends Muay Thai classes here and we love it! We tried many different martial arts school around Toronto, and found this to be the best. We like the structure, the sense of community and amazing and kind teachers here. Parent community is also great :) we already brought many friends here and we highly recommend it to you

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic gym, they’re very focussed on proper technique, everyone is very friendly, love this gym!

Expérience fantastique: Awesome gym, great community, supportive and experienced staff. Shoutout to the Latino coaches who are top-notch. I’ve been doing this for 8 years already, and game recognises game. If you’re looking for a Muay Thai gym in downtown Toronto, this is the place to go.

Expérience fantastique: I started my Muay Thai journey at TKMT downtown back in June 2023. I remember my trial session. I could barely do 20 seconds of skipping. My ankles, shins and legs were sore all the time. But that was just the first few weeks. If you’re hungry for new mental and physical challenges, TKMT is there to give you those and stay by your side to get better every day. The coaches are very friendly, although they will push you to get better and progress. And I can’t forget the sense of community that exists at TKMT. It’s been a year, I’m at level 3. Made great friends whom I even hang out with outside of the gym. If you are hesitant, don’t be! Start practicing Muay Thai! You don’t have to become a pro fighter, although you could if that’s what you’re aspiring to be. It can just be a great workout. And I definitely recommend TKMT for that. Sia

Expérience fantastique: I have been training at TKMT for a few years now and it's by far the best MMA gym in the city. I joined the gym to get fit, not knowing anything about the sport and now I am hooked! I love this gym. It's safe and positive environment. No matter your fitness level, there are classes for everyone. Each instructor takes the time to correct my form and they truly care about my progress. They take the time to provide the necessary feedback for me to improve. Also, it's a great community. I feel comfortable and respected with anyone at the gym. I love women's sparring on Saturdays. It's a great workout and a great way to learn self-defense. I am also hooked to the 7 am HITT class on Mondays and Wednesdays. It's a great way to start the day! Overall, training at TKMT makes me feels empowered and has given me a lot more confidence in my body.

Expérience fantastique: This Muay Thai gym combines professionalism with a warm, friendly environment. It's an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced practitioners, offering a supportive and engaging atmosphere..

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been practicing Muay Thai for three months now and since day one, all the coaches were so welcoming and humble. TKMT downtown teaches the best techniques in the best way

Expérience fantastique: Nice gym! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. If you are a beginner it's a great place to start. The instructors really break things down and help you with your form

Expérience fantastique: One of a kind. Great coaches and team.

Expérience fantastique: Was in Toronto for 3 weeks and decided to check out Muay Thai gyms. Tried two other gyms in the first week and TKMT Downtown in my 2nd week. I REALLY regret not going there first because I enjoyed myself so much so that I trained exclusively at TKMT Downtown for the rest of my stay in Toronto. Trainer Hassan was funny and engaging, and there were many LOL moments despite the intensity of the class. As a coach, he explains the techniques and rationale for students who are level 2 and above, and was very patient with level 1 students. There is great camaraderie between the people here. Everyone I met was approachable and friendly. I even made a friend here (hey Vero***a, xx)!! If you are into a good workout, improving your techniques, solid partner drills, clean toilets and floormats, and dig positive vibes, this is the gym to go!! I am missing this gym already! Will most definitely visit if I come back to Toronto! - someone from Singapore

Expérience fantastique: An incredibly friendly and welcoming environment. The staff is passionate and professional and will help you feel confident in achieving your best. Hope to be back again!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing. Lots of space, great staff. People of different ages and types. I went for my level test and the location was really nice!

Expérience positive: Called a bunch between 6:30 and 9 and no one answered.. disappointing. I’ll have to try again in a few months

Expérience fantastique: Having only recently joined TKMT I can confidently say I made the right choice. The coaches are all very professional and knowledgeable and take the time to guide you and help you with your technique. All of the other people there are very friendly and encouraging, creating a great space for people new to Muay Thai. I can’t recommend this place enough for newcomers to the sport and while you may regret your choice half way through the warm up, by the end of class you’ll be looking forward to the next one.

Expérience fantastique: TKMT is an excellent Muay Thai gym focused on teaching core fundamentals in friendly and inviting environment. This is a no ego fighting gym with a structured level system to develop beginners into one of the many athletes who fight out of TKMT. The classes are also great workouts and an excellent way to get into and stay in shape!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training twice a week at TKMT with Cam for just over a month. Stepping into the gym I had no previous martial arts experience and was working through a few previous injuries. Cam has been nothing but fantastic at accommodating what I could do, while teaching me the basics and more plus pushing me every session. I could literally barely get 3 skips in a row and now I’m skipping and doing other movements rounds at a time. I’ve gone from never throwing a combo to throwing 6+ punch knee elbow and kick combos mixed in. In a month and a half I’ve lost 15 pounds while learning a new skill. I can’t suggest Cam and TKMT enough for anyone looking to get started. Just start now and you won’t regret it.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! The classes are challenging and fun, and the instructors are great! Wish they had more frequent level tests but otherwise enjoying it.

Expérience fantastique: TKMT has a variety of classes suitable for individuals at different levels. As a beginner, I feel super welcome and included by both coaches and fellow students. Classes are a great blend of physical conditioning (you'll definitely break a sweat, regardless of how fit you already are) and technique development, and I love that there are classes every day of the week so I can drop in whatever day works for me. Definitely recommend trying out this academy!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing place to train! Nathan, Hassan and Cameron have all been excellent trainers. No more boring cardio at the gym! Definitely feel my skills improving and always have a good time training here.

Expérience fantastique: TKMT is an excellent gym! Super welcoming and friendly from my first trial class. The coaches genuinely want to see you grow and they’ve made a significant impact on my fitness and my mindset. Nothing but good things to say

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been going here for a year and I couldn’t recommend it enough. The gym has a kind, fun, but hard working atmosphere. The coaches are very knowledgable and push you to do your best. Plus everyone else is very friendly. Again I would recommend this gym to anyone interested in Muay Thai or just want a fun workout!

Expérience fantastique: Great place to learn/train Muay Thai. Excellent coaches that push you physically and mentally while maintaining a high standard for technique.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been coming consistently to TKMT Queen st for the past 5 months and have nothing but great things to say. The environment is super welcoming. The instructors are very friendly and always push you to be your better self. The classes are well structured and make it super easy to learn. Highly recommend for all levels.

Expérience fantastique: A super fun place for children and teenagers to learn Muay Thai! My 9yrs and 11yrs have been talking classes at TKMT downtown for half a year and really love it! There are the warmest and friendliest people I've ever met. The team (Coach Candice, Coach Mike & Coach Josie) have all been fantastic - kind, gentle, and incredibly patient with all the students. Kids have gained significant benefits from Muay Thai classes on building confidence and boosting attention span. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I had been struggling to find an activity that felt challenging and fun at the same time, and I was able to find that in TKMT. It is the first time in forever that I am looking forward to training, each class makes me feel strong and motivated. The coaches are great and the atmosphere is super friendly. Please make yourself a favor and take the trial class, you won't regret it!

Expérience fantastique: Great sparring experience, lots of other people big space, experienced instructors

Expérience fantastique: I have been training here for years. The staff are fantastic, friendly and always willing to help better yourself. The gym is clean, spacious and has other training equipment laying around if you want to work out a little after class. If you are on the fence about trying the place do a trial class, you won't regret it.

Expérience fantastique: An amazing place with a strong community and very welcoming coaches. Most people I meet with here in classes are encouraging, welcoming, and motivational in helping others learn Muay Thai despite the skill level. I highly recommend a trial or membership.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent training with professional and knowledgeable coaches, both my child and I train at TKMT and love it, if you want to get whipped into shape there is no better way! 5/5!!!!

Expérience fantastique: As a Muay Thai practitioner for over 15 years and having competed fora Muay Thai world championship in Bangkok, I can say this school is LEGIT. From beginner to competitor, all levels are taught and skills improved upon. I cannot wait to go back and train here again. You get the most inspiring and motivating trainers at all TKMT locations.

Expérience fantastique: I joined this gym over 2 months ago and was my first HIIT cardio experience after a 2 year post pandemic hiatus. Thanks to the excellent krus/ instructors and fitness regiments, I have been able to get much fitter both mentally and physically than I was ever in my life previously. The community is very friendly engaging and inclusive, and I have also had the pleasure of making good fitness minded buddies within and outside the gym. It has been one of my best decisions to join this gym, and I highly recommend anyone interested to do so.

Expérience fantastique: The kids' program has some of the most encouraging coaches. The locations and membership flexibilty makes it easy for families to join any time

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend! I only started a few months ago but I have been blown away by the community, classes, and quality of coaches. The classes have quickly become the highlights of my week and I find myself always looking forward to class.

Expérience fantastique: Great facility with well managed and organised staff. I started training muay Thai six weeks ago and the TKMT instructors have really helped with my technique and quickly adapted to my level when doing pad work. The facilities are great, the people and trainers are friendly and the standard of instruction is incredible. Beginner to Advanced level systems offered under one roof. It is run by a great team with a ton of experience.

Expérience fantastique: I began kickboxing in 2014 and then my gym closed down after a year. I struggled to find one that I loved as much. The first day I walked into TKMT, I knew the search was over in 2021. The community is amazing. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and they have different styles to teach. The classes are well structured and there are enough classes for different working hours which I love for when my weeks are unpredictable.

Expérience fantastique: Super nice gym!! Did kickboxing many years in Amsterdam. But this feels really like an academy. Coaches take time for all levels. Beginner to experienced! Love the vibe. Let’s go!

Expérience fantastique: I have been training since February 2021 and have nothing but positive experiences. Great instructors, awesome sense of community and really focused on training you, instead of just trying to sell you sessions or equipment. There is a commitment on elevating your fight game, and not just a money-grab like most "fit-boxing" studios around the area. I have already referred one friend and hope to introduce more people to this amazing gym.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym. Lots of amazing instructors with real experience, awesome selection of classes and great atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train!

Expérience fantastique: Working out is a pain but this place makes me come back for more. 10/10 recommended for anyone who wants a break from a busy and loaded lifestyle.

Expérience fantastique: Super friendly atmosphere and coaches. (Martial arts) > (Gym)

Expérience fantastique: With 3 locations (soon to be 4) Tkmt has training for anybody’s schedule in the city. Whether you work days or nights they have classes for everyone. Love the gym, the coaches, the environment and the training is top notch!

Expérience fantastique: My membership at TKMT is by far one of the best investments I've ever made. Everyone here is super friendly, coaches are very competent, and the classes really push me physically. I had never done Muay Thai before joining TKMT, but I immediately felt extremely welcome. I am making really good progress, and coming to TKMT is often the highlight of my day. I am really grateful for the work you do, TKMT team. You make a big difference in my life.

Expérience fantastique: TKMT is a great gym to receive helpful instruction, improve your form, and get your sweat on with intense, but fun muay thai workouts. I came in with nearly no experience of muay thai, and received lots of great feedback and instruction on improving my skills and form. The instructors are helpful and fun, the atmosphere is high energy and inclusive, and overall a blast! I 100% recommend this gym if you want to learn muay thai!

Expérience fantastique: Very friendly and knowledgable staff. the facility is also very clean and they even put care and attention into small details such as providing menstrual products in the women's change room!!:))

Expérience fantastique: Been doing Muy Thai for 5 years previously. Stepped into this place and immediately felt a good vibe. Super flexible schedule, amazing trainers, everyone is welcoming and pays attention. I saw first timers being given extra attention and experienced fighters leaving drenched and gasping. After a month I dropped 5 kgs and got some serious fitness! Can't recommend enough. Plus they got showers .

Expérience fantastique: Beautiful gym in the heart of downtown Toronto, need to give it 5 stars. The owner Candice is dedicated, a true pillar of the community.

Expérience fantastique: Thank you for making me feel welcome. A great place to train. If you're looking for an awesome work out, check this place out!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym! You feel a sense of community here, which is so helpful to make training a routine. Also love the different types of classes because they train you in different ways. They have early 7am and late evening classes so can always find something that fits your schedule.

Expérience fantastique: A really great and welcoming gym. The coaches are all great and there are classes for all levels whether you are new or have been sparring for years. Also very clean considering how popular the location is and how much you'll sweat here (cause you will sweat). They focus very much on technique and knowledge and not just to have a mindless fitness class. Love the spot.

Expérience fantastique: A wonderful place to train. Great facilities and very good coaches that makes you push yourself to your limits.

Expérience fantastique: Great workout!

Expérience fantastique: This place is great. Good for training with others and good for self defense.

Expérience fantastique: I joined TKMT in the fall thinking I’d only try it for a season then would go back to other team sports but now I can’t get enough! All the coaches are amazing here and you’re guaranteed to get a fantastic workout every time you come. It’s a great community and they don’t pressure you to commit/sign up so only people who truly want to be there are in your classes.

Expérience fantastique: Come to train and test your body, mind, and spirit. Stay for the friendly staff and amazing community #sawatdikhrap

Expérience fantastique: Staff is super friendly and helpful! They spend the time with you to make sure you get it!

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely love this gym. Friendly people and great workout. Went for the first time about 4 months ago and got hooked right away!

Expérience fantastique: I've been coming to TKMT for about 2 years now and I can't say enough positive things about the atmosphere, the gym, instructors, and classmates. Anyone who is interested in improving their fitness or learning a new discipline and skill set should come here. Coach Candice is a top class instructor (and good fighter, don't mess with her).

Expérience fantastique: great place, very friendly environment, intense workouts and great trainers.

Expérience positive: Went into the Dojo to check on times for Muay Thai, found the owner at the front desk and found she was very friendly and helpful. For Muay Thai the hours provided were, M-F 11:00-13:00, 18:00-21:00, Sat & Sun 11:00-14:00. Beginners classes, intermediate and advanced, sparring is for advanced only aparently. First drop in $10 trial.

Expérience fantastique: Great place for an intense workout and learning kickboxing/muay thai. Awesome staff too. Highly recommend downtown for beginner and intermediate!

Expérience fantastique: I went to TKMT with zero experience in martial arts, and quite honestly, with very limited interest in it - a friend mentioned it's a good workout and a way to stay in shape. What I got was way more than I would ever have expected - the workouts were great - challenging and intense, but everyone is encourage to go at their own pace. My heartbeat did reach its highs every time, and I saw overall improvement in my conditioning, stamina and overall health. But the most important factor that makes TKMT special are the people - the passion and dedication from the instructors was infectious and Kru Clifton probably the most inspiring, influential, competent and down-to-earth instructor I ever came across, regardless of discipline. Two years later, my adventure with Muay Thai continues, I've made long lasting friendships and it's all thanks to the fabulous team and fellow students at TKMT.

Expérience fantastique: I have been practicing Muay Thai and Kickboxing for 6 years, and I have been to gyms in many countries. I can proudly say that TKMT Downtown is by far the best gym I have been to. Amazing atmosphere, great people and of course our very respected Kru Clifton Brown who really helps his students improve and become the best fighters they can be! Thanks TKMT for being the best gym ever!

Expérience fantastique: You can't beat a gym that has five time Muay Thai world champion Clifton Brown as an instructor.

Expérience fantastique: Great instructors, intense workout, fun. Nice mix of girls and guys, all friendly.

Expérience fantastique: Good place if you are into kickboxing or muay thai. Boot camp, intermediate boot camps, high level boot camps, personal training and sparring is available on a daily basis.

Expérience fantastique: The easy transition from beginner to intermediate to competition training. Love it!

Expérience fantastique: Best workout you've had. When I started, I would be sore for the entire next week. Of course, I stayed because it's incredibly fun with tons of great people. As a side effect, you happen to get fit. :)

Expérience fantastique: What can I say...I love this place. Thank you for making me feel welcome. Great staff puts you at ease ( can be intimidating walking into a Muay Thai studio...not here) and the workout is intense for all levels of skill and ability.

Expérience fantastique: Staff are super friendly, workouts are intense, and I am definitely learning a lot of useful tactics in case I get jumped in an alley or something. Highly recommended.
