CMT is the real deal. Whether you want to fight, learn a skill or get a killer workout, this place is the best. You will not find a better, more authentic Muay Thai gym in Tennessee. Coach Bruce fought and trained with some of the best fighters in the world, he’s an incredible coach, and has lived the life as he is from Thailand. This is as real as it gets.

Got to watch an intermediate class and honestly got really excited. The people here all really care and put a lot into it.Hoping I can start classes soon, and I even got to pick up a shirt today too.Will definitely be back. :)

Not really a fighting gym but it’s good if you want to go get a workout and do some cardio kickboxing. They throw some solid techniques in there so it makes it fun, but this gym is in no way a “fighting” gym. There is no fine line between the fight team and the people who just train for fun, which is cool it creates a fun vibe. But if you want to be a fighter and go pro or are already a pro I would not suggest training here.

Without a doubt, the best Muay Thai gym in Middle Tennessee. Ive been around the martial arts scene for quite some time and can spot sketchy gyms and big headed students/coaches. This isnt one of those gyms. Everyone helps each other here and theres never an ego problem. If you want to learn how to defend yourself and get a good workout in at the same time, check it out.

I was visiting Nashville for work and was looking for an authentic Muay Thai gym. Thats not always so easy, depending on where I am. Luckily I found Chonburi Muay Thai and signed up for a drop in beginner class. Im definitely not a pro- Im a super enthusiastic amateur hobbyist but not a beginner either- however, their (very intelligent) policy is that no matter who you think you are, if youve never been there before, you take the beginner class. I couldnt be happier. Kru Bruce watched from the sidelines while the coach, Dee, went drilled us in basic combinations, shadowboxing, and pad work. I got some helpful feedback from Dee, Kru Bruce, and my training partner. Everyone was super welcoming and made me feel like I had a home in Nashville. Thank you so much, Chonburi Muay Thai!!!! Its the real deal here. When I come back to Nashville, you can bet Ill be back!

As someone whos been around gyms in Middle TN for over 6 years now this is the best Muay Thai gym in Nashville! Very friendly environment and a big facility to learn in. I recommend training with Kru Bruce to any adults and children wanting to learn, from beginners to advanced practitioners! My first time there I was immediately impressed with the gym and Bruces methods of teaching a beginner like myself. Kids classes are usually held in the front half of the gym. I highly recommend bringing your little ones to learn Muay Thai, as its not only proven to help with physical health but improves psychological well being in young children as well. Learning to have confidence and to be independent in decision making but also learning team work along the way. 10/10 will be returning to train here again!

Hands down best Muay Thai gym in Nashville. If you are looking to learn the art of Muay Thai (no cardio kickboxing here) then Chonburi is the place for you. No matter what skill level you are, Bruce and David will work with you and help you improve. Each week is focused on something different so you are guaranteed to learn new techniques/combos. On top of the teaching, the gym has a very welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend you check this place out. You won’t regret it!

I can say without a doubt this is the best gym i have ever been a part of. The sense of community you feel on the first day is overwhelming and even the newest member feels welcome. Bruce, David, and the rest of the coaching staff have not only created an incredible gym but an incredible group of people who genuinely want to see you grow and succeed. I learn more about this art and about myself every time i step through the door. If you want to train to compete, or just want to learn the art of Muay Thai, or even just want to get in better shape, you can find that here. If you are on the fence i urge you to come try a class and see for yourself. This place changed my life.

Real great culture. Seems comfortable to be a complete beginner or pushing yourself harder.

This is an amazing place to train and learn. There is a strong sense of friendship and community. Everyone works hard to sharpen each other and the instructors do a great job of reinforcing proper technique.

Cannot express enough how much I LOVE THIS GYM! Bruce and everyone involved truly know how to combine hard work and family. I have recently moved from Nashville to Colorado, and have yet to find an experience like Chonburi. Bruce is the best teacher I have had so far, and I would recommend Chonburi even hundreds of miles away!

Just finished my first free class and I signed up before I left. It was that good! If you are looking for Muay Thai kickboxing at an old-school style boxing gym where theyll teach you proper form, this is it. I have been kickboxing for a few months at another business, but this place knocked my socks off! I was thrilled to have found a place like this where I can improve my technique and go further than just basic fitness. I cant wait for my next class!!Update: still attending a year later and loving every minute of this class!

I did online research to find an authentic traditional Muay Thai gym in Nashville Tn. The second hurdle was to see if I would be accepted to train due to my age. I scheduled an appointment with Bruce and was so impressed with his professionalism, integrity, and passion for Muay Thai that I immediately signed up for lessons. I could not believe how welcoming and friendly Bruce made me feel. Everyone that comes to his gym is treated that way and he accepts all ages and offers classes for kids, beginners, womens only class and advance Muay Thai. I have been taking private lessons for two years and cannot believe the progression I have made. I attribute this to Bruces coaching and unsurpassed knowledge of Muay Thai. Bruce is a Muay Thai Champion from Thailand and there is not another coach in the Nashville area that has the experience and understanding of authentic Muay Thai like Bruce!

From young to old, all are made to feel welcome. Whether your goal is to keep in shape, learn a new skill, or to compete, this is your gym. Gain self confidence and get in shape with a fun, invigorating workout. No boring workouts here!

Best gym without a doubt. Wether you are looking to start Muay Thai or you have 50 fights this is an amazing place to train. Very welcoming people. The system coach Bruce teaches is down pat tried and trued. Great kids program as well.

The learning environment at Chonburi Muay Thai is friendly and you will usually have a partner that points out your technique and how to better it. If you really want to, you can ask someone to help you out during extra time and they will usually be glad to go over what you need help with. In overall the environment there is friendly and effective. Moving on, the Coach here is experienced and a knowledgeable Coach with solid technique and as well looks well after his students. He makes sure to go over the lesson multiple times so students get it more memorized. If a student is doing it wrong he will help correct it. In overall the Coach is willing to help you learn more and is very sociable along with supportive. I personally like this gym and am happy I chose to be a student here. If you want to learn Muay Thai in depth and get a lot of things covered this is the place you should very well consider.

This is a fantastic Muay Thai gym. Bruce is an amazing coach. I started coming here in June 2019 and quickly became a regular student because classes are fun, a great workout, and I learn a ton! If you have ever wanted to learn Muay Thai in a fun, safe and friendly setting (everyone who goes to the gym is so kind) then you will love this place!

This is hands down the best Muay Thai gym you will find in Nashville. Not only is Bruce an outstanding teacher but more importantly an amazing human being. Many gyms can be intimidating to join but the people at Chonburi Muay Thai make it fun and easy. I cant think of a better place to learn Muay Thai the right way and get in shape while you do it.

This gym is one of a kind when it comes to learning how to kick box and have fun while doing it! Bruce is super friendly and knowledgeable and knows how to work with boxers at any level. I love going to his classes because I always learn something new and have the best time!!! I recommend trying this for anyone who wants to get into Muay Thai! You will feel right at home.

Bruce the single best striking and Muay Thai coach in middle TN. His gym is packed with a diverse and growing group of beginners and advanced practitioners. Everyone has an awesome attitude, and very supportive. Ive been training with Bruce in private lessons for almost a year. I went from being uncoordinated, to knowing how to use muscle and power efficiently. I would never train with another person or choose a different team to have fun with. He is 100% genuine, authentic Muay Thai.

One day I decided I wanted to get out of this box I lived in. I always knew I wanted to take a boxing class. One day I stumbled upon the Chonburi Muay Thai website. The next day I watched the class to see if it would be something I would be interested in. The day after that I joined. I didnt even know how to wrap my hands. Nor did I know much about the art. I knew it was something I wanted to try. Coach is an amazing teacher. The people (my teammates) are extremely helpful and friendly. There are no egos at this gym. Today, I cant imagine not having the art and the people in my life. They become family. Its the best place for authentic Muay Thai.

I was looking for a place to get back into martial arts after a hiatus with some long standing health issues. I wanted to get back into shape and was interested in authentic Muay Thai, but was concerned with getting injured. I called and spoke with Bruce and he really listened to my concerns and worked with me accordingly. He knew exactly what to do. He moved at a pace that has helped me get into the best shape Ive been since I can remember. If you have always wanted to train in Muay Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA, this is the time and place to do it. The staff, students, are very supportive(no ego) and are a testament to the care he takes in his gym( it feels more like a village where EVERYONE is welcome). Its a safe and non intimidating environment. If you are new to martial arts, I would say you will be hard pressed to find a better place to train as he is very patient and extremely knowledgable. Moving from a much bigger city I was concerned with the quality of instruction at the local gyms in this town. Although there are some gyms that I would not recommend, being ex-military and having trained martial arts in the past I feel like I have a good bases for comparison, and this is as good as it gets.

After relocating to Nashville from Phoenix, I didnt think I would find another gym teaching authentic Muay Thai. Then I met Bruce and the Chonburi team. Top class people teaching traditional Muay Thai. Great atmosphere and no egos. I am so thankful I found this gym & people. Highly recommend!

The best Muay Thai gym Ive found in these here parts. Great people in the class and an even better dude teaching. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get fit or test the waters fighting.

Chonburi Muay Thai was exactly what I was looking for in a gym. The instruction is superb & the people were beyond welcoming. Levels range from beginning to advanced so you get an opportunity to really learn from your peers as well as having an awesome coach (Bruce!!!) who never fails at giving an awesome class experience. I cant recommend it highly enough. CHECK. IT. OUT. YALL.

Checked out all other gyms in Nashville/Clarksville area. This is it. The real deal. Bruce is one of the most knowledgeable and down to earth guys you will meet. Everyone is class is so encouraging. You will not go to another gym if you go to Chonburi. I drive an hour and a half to attend class and it is well worth the travel.

It has been over a year since Ive joined this gym. The members itself are more welcoming than going to any retail store, grocery store, business meeting(s), family reunion and etc.(you get the picture hahaha!) to all. Seeing that tells me so much of what the coach/gym is like before I even met Bruce(coach).The work ethnic is all around there. The members are example of that thanks to Bruce showing his pride&passion of doing what he loves to do and instilling more of that to them on a daily basis IN&OUT of the gym! I can tell you more about us when you come try the free class(after training of course)!

A friend introduced me to Chonburi Muay Thai after I expressed some dissatisfaction with my then-current gym. Immediately, I noticed that Kru Bruce was attentive, involved, and experienced. His style was different from what I had been taught previously, allowing me to expand upon my knowledge base and develop new skills. The gym allows all levels and its a very welcoming, familial environment. All of the students are supportive and helpful to one another. As long as I live close enough to make it to class, Chonburi Muay Thai will forever be my gym.

Bruce is an excellent teacher and always ensures you get the techniques correct before moving on, and the other members were super welcoming and friendly on my first time! I was nervous at first but felt right at home when the first lessons started.

Super authentic teaching style, awesome detailed tested and perfected technique, unique and inviting environment for all levels young kids just starting they’re journey in martial arts and Muay Thai to world champion fighters a truly special place and coach

Chonburi Muay Thai is a great place to train and Bruce is the Man! He is a very experienced Muay Thai Coach and highly knowledgeable in all aspects of Mixed Martial Arts. I started doing private lessons when I first met him and quickly became friends. He took time away from work to fly to Brazil and corner me in my UFC fight. Ive had the privilege of seeing Bruce work with all levels and all ages of people and its always great to be a part of it. So if youve ever thought about training or just curious, I would highly recommend giving it a try!!! StayChoppin

Many MMA/boxing gyms offer what they call Muay Thai. This is the real deal. The atmosphere is very approachable and welcoming for beginners, but if you have an interest in being a fighter Kru Bruce Panyapol will challenge and push you.

I ended up getting seriously injured and surgery with the owner when he had his Murfreesboro location over a year ago. I was new and asking to pay for private lessons but recommended his group class which was advanced students. Some told me they were with him for ten years.. When my knee snapped and was unstable and I told him in class he just told me to take off the equipment and and didnt check on me. A week later I messaged him my diagnosis and told him he should give warm-up and separate beginners (I heard now he does) ad he left a short reply and I never heard from him again. A year later and my knee is much recovered after surgery and physical rehab but I cant run yet. My other friend who does Muay Thai in Poland said as a first time student I should have been warmed-up and placed with beginners not ten year veteran students. But I guess now he changed that at his new Antioch location.

If you are looking for the real deal, this is the place! Traditional Muay Thai from ThailandBruce makes everybody feel welcome and will do everything he can for you to learn the right techniquesHe is very experienced and patient on top of being a really good dude

Just what I was looking for
