NOT JUST A GYM, A FAMILY !!!

When I joined Southside Muay Thai, the most notable quality that this gym possesses that others do not, is that they are not just a professional martial arts gym but also a family based business. At Southside, they treat each and every client with the same kind, caring, honest and accepting attitude. Kar & Barry give 100% to their clients every single session. During training, they take time to assess who may need extra help in the room. They cater to each individuals needs and help everyone improve at their own pace. They... read more are always patient if someone is struggling but also help each client to strive to achieve new goals. One of the goals Kar set for me this year was to run a half marathon (21km) not only did he set me this challenge but he also wrote a 3 week intensive training program (at no charge) to help me get the best result possible. Kar & Barry care about their clients! SSMT is not just a great Gym, but a friendly, safe environment for people to learn, grow and form great friendships where we respect, help, and look out for each other.

I love the Southside Muay Thai family and I am positive you will too. If you are looking to learn a martial art, there is no greater place to do so in Adelaide, in my opinion. read less

Not just throwing this 5 star rating around willy nilly! Very much deserved 5 stars to Coach Barry and Coach Karr... if I could give them 6 stars I would. The atmosphere in this gym is addictive, the trainers, fighters and students are all very welcoming. The coaches and fighters set the bar high when it comes to technique and fitness. I miss this place so much!

Best place to be! Choosing Southside is one of the best decisions I’ve made. Training at SSMT has helped me get in shape but most importantly has made me a stronger person mentally and emotionally and I will be forever grateful for that, and the people I’ve met in the process.

I have been training at Southside Muay Thai for 10 years and fighting for three years. In that time Baz & Kar gave assisted me in obtaining a South Australian State Title and a Silver Medal at the Muay Thai National Championships in the Gold Coast. Their experience, wealth of knowledge and support is next to none. I wouldn't train anywhere else simply for that matter. As fighters our best interests are always put first and forward, which is so important in this sport. The gym culture is fantastic, as fighters we help support our coaches with teaching new students,... read more we are forever growing and learning in a safe space and I would never step foot in any other place. read less

SSMT is by far the best gym I've trained at. Coach Kar and Coach Barry are both great blokes and have an amazing knowledge of Muay Thai. The people that train there are so humble, always willing to help and all round great people. I wouldn't dream of training under anybody else and this place is becoming my second home.

I first started my training with Southside Muay Thai well over a year ago and have never looked back since! I've been grateful enough to have trained at a number of different Dojo's, Clubs & Martial Arts groups in my years... But I have definitely found my home @ Southside Muay Thai among friends and great Coaches in a professional yet friendly family orientated environment. Along with great gym facilities and traditional Muay Thai training & techniques right at your fingertips.. Or should I say, teep's. - SSMT is not just a team of individual Champions, but is more so... read more a Champion team.!! read less

I have trained in many gyms in many countries from Europe, USA, South America to the Asia Pacific region, and I am delighted to confirm:

This gym rates among the best in the world! Their terms and conditions are clear and simple to understand and the owners work very hard to be flexible to work in with their client’s schedules....

The training I have received during the past (almost) one year has been world class. I feel fitter & healthier than I have felt for some time. The programs offered are not just about training and techniques,... read more but the well being of the whole person...they care about your physical, emotional and mental health.

I would encourage everyone to take up their offer of a “Free Trial” and experience the professional and friendly expertise in physical fitness. read less

Kar & Barry have been very supportive and welcoming. I have struggled with injuries for years & I truly feel this is where I will finally strengthen my body and heal. My fitness levels are up and I’m totally hooked! Thanks to everyone at the club. So glad I joined!!!

I've been training at Southside for over 5 years now and started fighting just over 2 year ago already racking up 13 fights.

Southside is a genuine Muay Thai gym and is perfectly catered for beginners and families right through to professional fighters.

I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to improve their fitness while learning the art of eight limbs.

IT WILL IMPROVE YOUR LIFE!!!

I have only been training at this club since November 2017 and it has been amazing. The coaches Barry Saunders and Kar Wong are the best coaches I have ever trained with, it is so very clear that they both have years of knowledge and experience as athletes, fighters, as teachers and trainers. The integrity and respect the coaches have for their students shows in their fighters.

Southside Muay Thai provides the perfect training environment for those who have zero experience to those who are seasoned veterans. The friendly and helpful trainers give easy to follow instructions and never miss a thing with your technique. Being continually critiqued on your form helps you to learn quickly and enjoy it while you do. You're never out of your depth at Southside and would recommend it highly to all considering a physical challenge in a encouraging and friendly environment.

I decided to check out SouthSide Muay Thai because of good feedback I found online. Once I started training here I found the coaches extremely down to earth and the whole gym environment super friendly. There are no members with big egos and I felt extremely welcomed. After training for a while I decided that I wanted to progress and compete in the sport. Even though I was new to the sport I had great support from the fight team members and from the coaches. if you are interested in joining a gym I recommend checking out SSMT, as a... read more beginner, intermediate or if you are looking to compete. the gym accommodates all. when you love what you do it doesn't feel like an effort to train but you look forward to coming here. read less
