Chok Dee Athletics LLC

Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I moved to Newark, DE for work and were looking to dabble in some form of martial arts. We were fortunate enough to stumble upon Chok Dee Athletics. The environment was friendly and welcoming, but would made the place was Kru Joe. Kru Joe has a passion for Muay Thai and you feel it every session. The sessions were challenging but fun at the same time. Unlike most places I've trained in, Kru Joe actually fights and puts his training to the test. I knew that I was getting a great workout and preparing myself for real fight situations. I unfortunately had to relocate for work. However, I could not recommend Chok Dee any higher,.

Experiencia fantástica: Great school and good people to train with for all levels.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been at this gym for 8 months. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. I have been to several great gyms in the Philadelphia area and I still believe this gym is special. Kru Joe is a patient and informative instructor. He takes the time to help every student regardless of their level and fighter status. Definitely check out this gym if you want to learn traditional Muay Thai or if you just want to get in great shape while having fun!

Experiencia fantástica: Previously I have trained at other gyms before landing here. The 2 things that kept me here at this gym is the atmosphere, and the level of instruction. Coming into any combat gym for the first time can be a challenge itself, but Joe and Mikey were very welcoming, and created an environment where I personally felt like I could learn without judgement. The coaches takes their time to explain how certain techniques are executed. The gym welcomes all levels from seasoned fighters to brand new beginners.

Experiencia fantástica: Chok Dee is THE gym to train at if you want to learn authentic Muay Thai. No matter who you are or what your athletic ambitions are, Kru Joe is extremely welcoming and encouraging. The way other pro fighters and established Nak Muay talk about Joe and his talent as a coach/fighter speaks volumes. He’s also an experienced referee and is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the sport. If you were thinking of trying Muay Thai, do not hesitate.

Experiencia fantástica: I got into Muay Thai because my boyfriend had always wanted to do it but I had never considered it before. Because of this gym I’m so glad I gave it a shot! The classes go by quickly because it is actually fun and I’m in better shape than if I go to the gym on my own because of course group classes help you push yourself. Looking forward to continuing the journey with all the awesome and patient coaches here! Plus every now and the. we get opportunities such as the one I got to train with Liam Nolan 2x muay thai world champion!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I started training at Chok Dee almost 3 years ago. Excellent coaches that will help anybody from beginners to more experienced students. Wide variety of class schedules that go 6 days a week so anybody has time to fit it in their schedule.

Experiencia fantástica: This school is one of the best to learn Muay Thai!

Experiencia fantástica: Great School, highly recommend to anyone looking to do MT.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Chok Dee has been a great one, a welcoming friendly environment and a wealth of knowledge and experience from coaches Mikey and Joe

Experiencia fantástica: I've previously trained at other martial arts gyms, but this is my first Muay Thai exclusive gym. Kru Joe is very welcoming, organized, and intentional about what he teaches to a wide range of students. Classes are organized by experience/skill and Kru Joe fully plans a curriculum to build skills that translate through the different levels. It's very cool to look around class and see 10-year-olds and college students paired up, along with teenagers partnering with their parents. Everyone is respectful and pushes their partners to take the techniques seriously while still having fun. There are no big egos here where someone tries to hurt you through sparring-- everyone here cares for their partners and work on trying new things! You can also take fitness bag classes which are a mix between heavy bag rounds with "rest" rounds in between that are kettle bell or body-weight based so you're strengthening AND conditioning. If you're new to the area and need a place to make friends and learn super cool skills, this is the place to go! Or honestly, if you're feeling stuck and need a new hobby, muay thai is a great way to build confidence, emotional control, and self-esteem for all ages. Either way you won't regret checking out Chok Dee Athletics!

Experiencia positiva: My experience at Chok Dee Athletics was wonderful. Kru Joe is very knowledgeable and will help you reach your goals. Everyone there is very supportive and hardworking. Although, sadly you cannot train multiple martial arts while at Chok Dee Athletics, as Kru Joe wants MT to be your main focus. I was pretty disappointed when I wasn't able to come back to class due to having started BJJ. But if you're looking to learn muay thai this is your place.

Experiencia fantástica: Great Muay Thai gym. Friendly, welcoming atmosphere for beginners.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been coming here for about a year and a half. Kru Stripling is an awesome instructor and a cool guy too. This is a friendly environment with a family like atmosphere. There are people like myself who study the highly effective martial art of Muay Thai for fun and self-defense, as well as fighters. Also Muay Thai workouts will help you burn fat and improve your physical fitness as well. The classes are also reasonably priced as well and there are classes for both beginner and advanced students. Come and check out some classes, you won't regret it!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been training with Kru Joe for about ten months now, and have never had more fun. The atmosphere in his gym is always positive, it's equal parts serious attention to training and having fun. Joe and his classes are great with both beginners and more advanced students, giving input that's based on the student's needs, wants, and abilities. His private sessions are AWESOME and very reasonably priced, as are his classes. I recommend Chok Dee Athletics to everyone, from folks who are just getting into fitness and want to get into great shape, up to experienced fighters who are looking for a coach who is genuinely passionate about his martial art.

He is a very supportive coach and has the professional MMA and Muay Thai fight experience to guide you. The atmosphere is very encouraging and fun. You will fit in from day one. I learn something in every class. Set yourself up for success and come join a class.

Experiencia fantástica: Kru Joe is amazing at what he does. By far the best Muay Thai gym I have ever been too. He will teach you the basics and techniques behind Muay Thai all while having a great time. Even if you have no plans to be a fighter, but want a hobby, or to stay in shape, Kru Joe will help you get there. After bouncing around to different gyms I know where I’ll be staying.
