T.A.G. Muay Thai Review

Amazing program. TAG's children's program is one of a kind. My child has improved immensely under the guidance of TAG's instructors.

TAG is a really good program. The instructors are very helpful with demonstrating the proper steps. They are very encouraging. Would recommend!

A great place to train. I recently returned to the US after learning some Muay Thai in Thailand. I was anxious to find an authentic/legit gym in Northern Va, and TAG was it. This is a warm and welcoming group, regardless of your skill level. You can feel the enthusiasm from everyone in each class. Kru Chris and his instructors will push you, but not in an overbearing way. If you're looking to learn self defense skills, burn some calories and have a few,laughs, this is the place. So glad I found them.

Knowledgeable, attentive staff. They genuinely care about making you feel welcome & assessing your abilities to give you the best possible opportunity for learning and advancing.

I was nervous to try out TAG because I had never been interested in any fighting skills and normally shied away from hitting or being hit, but the classes make the moves easy and fun to learn and make you feel safe while doing it. It is an activity that teaches you discipline and confidence in your body's abilities. Instructors and students who have been going for longer are always looking to help make improvements to newer students. Kru Chris and the TAG team help you learn the art of Muay Thai and get in a great work out along the way.

TAG is a top notch gym for real Muay Thai!

Not karate, not American kickboxing, and not vague mma kickboxing, but real Muay Thai! Coach Chris can prepare you whether your a seasoned fighter or someone who has never trained in martial arts before. He uses a systematic approach teaching you the strong basic fundamentals of footwork, offense and defense in a format that is designed to teach you through bag work, pad work, and working with partners up to and including sparring and competition if desired.

Coach/Kru Chris also teaches combatives from a base of Muay Thai for law enforcement specific situations and self defense for the street. Coach Chris is a long time veteran of law enforcement agencies, he understands the needs of LEOs and people that need to defend themselves in violent domestic situations.

TAG Muay Thai also has kids classes available!

I believe this is the best place in Northern VA for honest to goodness, traditional Muay Thai, accept no substitutes!

A+++! I absolutely enjoyed this class. I am brand new to MT and Kru Chris did not treat me as a newbie and was very respectful and extremely knowledgeable! I not only recommend the art of MT to everyone, but TAG is a place where Kru Chris will develop you into a much more confident person while learning the art! Thanks so much to every other student at TAG who accepted me into the class. I could tell the level of respect of everyone there is/was evident of the instructors teaching and basic principles/rules of his dojo.

The staff and instructors are great at making you feel welcomed and comfortable. You can feel the family environment when you see the students with a smile on their faces before and after the class ends. You don't need to be experienced to start, just a willingness to train and be a good partner to a classmate.

Best instruction, best cost per class/month, honestly the very best place to learn Muay Thai. Here you're not just a dollar sign. You're valued as a person. And Kru Chris wants to teach you more than just classroom work, he will teach you real life scenarios. He is very direct and to the point. He is an amazing instructor. And I learned more from him than I have ever learned from anyone in my whole life.

Excellent program! Very helpful instructors. I highly recommend for anyone of all ages & ability.

Awesome time with Kru Chris and his team of coaches! Kru has a depth of knowledge in the art of Muay Thai... he could hear the nuances of my technique execution without even having to look - a true sign of a lifetime of living and breathing Muay Thai! Kru Chris has a direct approach with students, so you know where you stand with him. There s no guessing in what he actual meant when he is explaining how things should be done for maximum effect. His curriculum is logical, well thought out and organized.

Definitely progresses naturally, so a highly recommend for students who have zero experience to begin with. Experienced students will fall in and won t feel bored either, as the classes are separated into different skill levels.

His team of coaches follow in his footsteps and are all very personable and work with the kids class extremely well. It helps that some of the coaches are elementary school teachers for their day job! The kids listen and understand directions given and have a blast with everyone they interact with at the gym. Very welcoming and safe environment for the kiddos.

The gym space itself, is cleaned and sanitized before and after every class. Class equipment is provided and personal equipment, like gloves, is high quality and available for a reasonable price.

The community is very welcoming. It s easy to start from the basics and learn while having fun. This is a #1 for anyone who wants to learn muay thai.

TAG was an amazing experience. Chris and his coaches were all very welcoming and willing to put real effort into you if you show them that's what you want. If you further look up Kru Chris's accomplishments you will know you are training with the best. Trust that you will feel the best after every class.

I have been training at TAG Muay Thai for a little over 2 years. I must say I have enjoyed absolutely every minute of it. Over the time I have been at TAG I have realized a passion and love for Muay Thai. I credit this to Kru Chris and our amazing coaches at TAG who challange you and help push you past your limits.

If you re someone looking to learn authentic Muay Thai from the best coaches this is where you want to be. It does not matter what your age or skill level is...everyone is welcome!

best must thai gym in VA. Kru Chris is the most knowledgeable instructor around.

T.A.G. Is great. The staff here are very professional with lots of knowledge and experience. The dynamic in class phenomenal.
Highly recommend it !!!!

I went off of the recommendation of a friend of mine and I do not regret it! TAG is great for confidence building and also the training that comes with it. I have been going at least once a week for the last month or so and will continue to make the 2 hour drive. Totally worth it to me!

Chris is an incredible instructor. His knowledge of Muay Thai incredibly in-depth. He is able to teach someone who has zero knowledge of combative sports to helping those who are experts hone their craft. The gym is very facilitative to everyone from kids to adults. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great place to learn martial arts. Good for first learners and intense training. Great way to stay in shape.

After trying multiple gyms in the area, it was very easy for me to decide to sign up with TAG Muay Thai. The best things about this gym are the instructor and the students.

Kru Chris is a great instructor. He is passionate about the sport, and a very humble, respectful, and genuine person. He dedicates time to each of his students during drills and makes sure every one is doing them correctly.
The students are very welcoming, and you can integrate with the class seamlessly. During classes you pair up with different people and get to experience working with different skill levels, which is a great opportunity to learn. The more senior students are always helpful, and point out how you can improve your technique.

The environment at TAG is friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good workout or learn authentic Muay Thai.

This place is awesome! I'm so glad I found a place in Sterling that provides quality instruction and great teachers. From the moment we did the trial my son and I felt welcomed and actually learned a lot just in 2 weeks of the trial. It's a great workout and you learn a martial arts that's practical and effective. At first I had to drag my middle schooler who is a top athlete in several sports but never took martial arts. Now he loves it. So glad I decided to come here!

This is a great gym! Highly recommend for anyone! Chris is very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing.

If you re looking for authentic and traditional Muay Thai training, T.A.G. is the place to go. Having trained in martial arts throughout my entire life, being a part of the T.A.G. family made me realize how a real gym operates. T.A.G. offers various classes depending on skill level and the level of interest, whether you re looking for fitness, competition, and even kids classes. T.A.G. s head coach, Kru Chris, has over 20 years of experience in martial arts and Muay Thai, and is a certified World Thai Boxing Association (WTBA) instructor. There are no egos within T.A.G., and everyone is there to help each other achieve their goals. I would recommend T.A.G. to everyone and anyone!

I can't recommend TAg Mauy Thai enough. TAG is a great place to learn real Muay Thai in a safe environment. The classes are structured in a way that everyone gets good training in a safe positive environment. All skill levels are welcome and will benefit from the training that TAG offers.

Hey this is Miki! I love this class! I'm learning so much and the instructor is well knowledgeable and patient too. Never missing this class!

T.A.G. Muay Thai is a great gym/program. Chris, the owner, is very knowledgeable. He makes learning Muay Thai fun. Even when instructors are preoccupied with other students, someone is always there to help. Overall, the environment is friendly and welcoming, the instruction is top notch, and you always get a great workout in. Highly recommend this gym!

Took my 4 year old to see if he would like the class. Since he first started he kept wanting to go back. The instructors are great and the classes for fun for the kids but at the same time they are learning. I am glad he joined and the team is always around to ask questions.

Authentic Muay Thai programs for all ages.! Chris is an amazing teacher and breaks down everything for your understanding. You won't be disappointed when you sign up for a class with y T.A.G Muay Thai !!

T.A.G is one of the best Muay Thai gyms in this area if not THE best. Structure and training is authentic and the staff is very knowledgeable. Hope to train there again! Khap!

Chris Aboy is the REAL DEAL! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a patient and extremely knowledgeable instructor. I had the pleasure of being one of Chris students for many months. I learned a lot of much needed maneuvers to enhance my career. You can never be too prepared. You don t choose when bad things happen to you, But thanks to Chris, I m better equip with skills needed to de-escalate, prevent, and defend myself. Most def check out T.A.G. Muay Thai when I m in the area!

Great place to train if you are interested in MMA/Thai boxing. the owner Kru Chris is very genuine and cares about his students. Also, He is very knowledgeable in the sport of muay Thai. I decided to join after my first trial class.

Kru Chris and TAG has been one of the best experiences for me. As a beginner (while also being 40+ years old) to Muay Thai I was concerned that I was going to be overwhelmed. That was certainly not the case as the experience and overall vibe was perfect.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, TAG provides the perfect setting for you to get better, to become your best. I highly recommend anyone and everyone check it out as it will help you with Muay Thai, self-defense, cardio, discipline, and an overall good time.

I love it!

My experience has been amazing, my daughter & I love it. So welcoming & very organized!

Chris Aboy is a great instructor, he will always help you out with anything you struggle with and will help build confidence. He is honest and definitely won t sugar coat things and tell you what you need to do to improve mentally or physically. I have personally known Chris for many years and joined in on his sessions when T.A.G. First began. Check him out! You won t be disappointed!

Absolutely the most professional intense training I have had. Extremely grateful for having had the opportunity to learn so much. Expanded my knowledge base. Trainers were professional, courteous, and helped me to achieve my goals. Highly recommend anyone from beginner to expert to stop by and take a class. You will get hooked.

Amazing school - great work out and top notch instructor. Learned so much in the short time I was able to train there. The head coach is extremely attentive even with the large group classes. The gym feels like a family environment where everyone is welcome and they re all one. I d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to take their Muay Thai to the next level or for someone really trying to learn it. If you re starting or expanding your skill - this would definitely be the place you want to train to get to level you re looking to reach.

First time doing martial arts. Instruction is great, sessions are a blast

Training with TAG has been a great experience. Kru Chris and his senior instructors provide legitimate guidance in Muay Thai techniques and strategy. The training environment is also very welcoming, with the right balance of safety and efficacy in sparring. Always excited to train with them when I'm back at home!

T.A.G has the best Muay Thai program around! The coaching is top notch! If you re looking for a gym where you want to excel at the sport and have fun at the same time then I guarantee this is the spot for you!

An amazing place to learn Muay Thai. Have been training here for almost 5 years now. Wouldn t train anywhere else in Northern VA. Supportive team, coaches and atmosphere. Look no further!!!

T.A.G Muay Thai is a great place to train. One of the great things about this gym is that it has classes that benefit people of all skill levels and fitness levels. There is no ego here, the people that train here push you to succeed and accomplish your goals and they offer various ways to improve. I also love how the website is set up to where there are tutorial videos, and helpful tips on getting through classes and to improve on one's self goals. I also love how when I was there, I was immediately welcomed and wasn't brushed off to the side. Hats off to this gym and we plan on returning soon!

Chris Aboy is one heck of an instructor! He's super personable and makes training fun. He keeps thing simple so it's very easy to learn. You know he's legit when he trains with monsters like Saenchai, Smokin Jo, and Sean Sherk.

Great place to train. Love the Classes I like it because it has all ages and everyone is super helpful and all they've done is make me feel comfortable.

First off, I am obsessed with Muay Thai. Been training since 2014 and competing since 2017, with 3 months training in Thailand.

I'm not a great fighter at all but muay thai is something I truly love. I look forward to it at the end of the day and see it as something that gives and rejuvenates me rather than taking away from me.

Anyways, I came to TAG MT during a business trip and had known about this school already from watching TAG MT youtube instructional vids. I came early and got to see the kids class. It's a great balance of technical drills but also having lots of fun as the reward. The coaches are great and the kids look up to them, fully engaged and are adorable in their big Muay Thai shorts :P

Head Instructor Kru Chris Aboy has an amazing personality and teaching style. His encyclopedic knowledge and teaching methodology is phenomenal. He can read each student individually while also making adjustments to the class as a whole depending on where everyone is at with the previous drill. You don't feel left behind at all. Coach James is amazing as well leading the partner drills and demos (for both Kids + Adults).

In general, Phase 1 covers fundamental techniques including movement, defense, attacks, and counters through progressive partner drills. Coaches will demo technique, then go around reading students and providing helpful corrections and explaining the reasons why. Calistechnics and shadowboxing in-between rounds really push the conditioning. Controlled sparring drills towards the end adds just enough unpredictability yet retaining safety and technique. Phase 2 builds upon Phase 1 and adds in more advanced drills, focusing on more advanced strategies and technical sparring.

For seasoned nak muay, TAG offers an in-depth knowledge and well rounded in all aspects. I really love their elbow/knee/clinch game. Nothing is watered down at all. I learned a LOT of new details to improve my technique is just one session.

Most importantly, I felt taken care of and safe the entire time.

If you live in the DC Metro Area and are interested in learning Muay Thai, whether it's for self-defense or competition, I strongly suggest checking out TAG Muay Thai. You will learn authentic, pure hard-hitting Muay Thai at TAG, along with the humility and respect of Traditional Muay Thai.

Having no experience with martial arts, I chose TAG Muay Thai as my gym based on a few things. Kru Chris is very knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated to his craft. Since I wasnt 100% sure if this gym was a good fit, students are offered a couple classes at no charge before making any sort of commitment. I felt immediately welcomed by everyone and the environment in the gym only motivates me to become better! Great place!

They have top notch instructors who will work with you throughout your journey. I was brand new never taking a single class in my life. They made me feel welcomed, and took into consideration I had no idea about any of the moves or terminology. Not only that, but they make sure everyone in the class respects everyone there whether you are brand new or have been going to his classes for a long time. I see many walks of life come into the gym. If you re looking to get into martial arts, or self defense it is definitely the gym for you.

The passion, work ethic, dedication, and compassion the owner shows to each student is next to none. Since I have been going I have brought in close to ten friends and family for classes, and every time I bring in someone new they are welcomed to the TAG family with open arms. Keep up the good work you have a life long member!

I've been training with T.A.G. Muay Thai for over 3 years now and definitely my expectations were exceeded since the very first day. Best training I've ever had. This is my family!

I enjoy the TAG Muay Thai sessions every time I m able to attend. I have the pleasure of personally knowing the owner of the gym, Chris Aboy. I have watched how he has grown from one small gym to now two different larger gyms (and counting) in Virginia!

He leads all the classes I ve been to with enthusiasm, dedication, friendliness, and an genuine interest in improving each students skills. His staff are professional, kind, and motivated to bring out the best in the students. It is a positive atmosphere and one where I ve sparred with young and old people. I highly recommend Chris TAG Muay Thai!!

Kru Chris has years of experience and has created a great community with his instructors. It is a great place to be challenged and improve skill and confidence in Muay Thai techniques for new or experienced fighters.

I have only done two sessions so far but it feels like I've been apart of the team for a long time. T.A.G Muay Thai has an outstanding environment and great sense of brotherhood. The coaches and veterans always strive to help you improve your technique and will see even the smallest wrong detail so that you can perfect the craft. That in itself shows you how much they care about not only the art but also about you. They have a very client based program and they do not force you to do anything unless they know you can do it. You will not be only joining a team but a family. Nothing but love for T.A.G Muay Thai!

Went to my first Muay Thai class here at T.A.G. The coaching was great. They were patient and took time with me. The other students were very friendly and patient with me as well. It was an amazing experience. I wish I would have learned about this place earlier during my trip because I would have gone more often. I plan to attend TAG whenever I visit Sterling,VA again. I highly recommend them.

Kru Chris and T.A.G Muay Thai is about as authentic as it gets! I was hooked from my first trial class and committed on my second day of training. The instruction is phenomenal and the conditioning/training intensity is amazing. Everyone there is incredibly friendly and welcoming to new comers while also maintaining a serious learning environment. I am so excited to continue learning and feel extremely lucky to have found such a top notch school so close to home.

Heck yeah! Great place, awesome instructors, wonderful experience! Try it, you won t be disappointed. Tell Mr. Aboy that Brandy sent you. ;-)

We LOVE this gym! Traditional form and technique. The atmosphere is wonderful. Family, fun, work, focus. Instructor Kru Chris is fully dedicated and treats both Student and Business with respect, regard and dedication. He's just one of those personalities you instinctively want to follow and do your best for.

I hear it is a great place I have not been there but it does have great equipment and clothing

By far the most experienced and knowledgeable instructors that I know. Highly recommend for everyone!!

Kru Chris and his team are the most awesome group ever! They are patient with the kids, offer direction as well as discipline in an effort to create the very same culture they exude. I would recommend T.A.G. Muay Thai to both kids as well as adults, you can learn a lot!

Instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable. They cater to every skill level. I loved my first few lessons and can t wait to come back.

When I wanted to have a self defense class for the ladies in my run group, I knew exactly who to ask, Chris Aboy & TAG! They ve instructed 2 classes for the group & we couldn t be more pleased. Not only does Chris have an expansive knowledge base, but the passion he has for the subject shows through every part of his instruction. He didn t just show us some moves , he took the time to explain what they were, why they would be effective, & what the end result would be. Ultimately he made sure that we were mentally ready for the fight & had a few tools at our disposal. I HIGHLY recommend TAG for all your self defense needs!

I known Chris Aboy and his family for a longtime. His training, competing, and heart will help everyone succeed in the world of kickboxing. Great People all around!

Went in feeling intimidated and left feeling empowered and confident. Chris and the rest of the crew really welcomed me, and went out of their way to work with me 1:1 to tweak my technique, give me pointers, and let me hit...HARD! I had so much fun trying something I've never done before, and the depth of knowledge and passion that Chris has makes me want to learn more. He breaks down every move step by step, which makes it so much easier to understand. I will 100% become a regular here. Plus, he's a funny guy - what's not to love about this gym!

Highly recommend!! Instructor Aboy is very Professional, knowledgeable, and experienced! Will try to visit as much as I can! If you want to learn, this is the place to go to.

T.A.G offers a very enjoyable experience with diverse training practice and a friendly atmosphere. The students are diverse in their experience, which promotes a low-intimidation barrier to entry. Overall a really fun time if you're looking to push yourself and learn new skills.

Great instruction and great people! I have been at TAG for over a year and a half now, and the experience has been fantastic; classes are one of my favorite parts of the week! Kru Chris has the skills and pedigree and does a great job of teaching the techniques.

Phase 1 classes generally consist of some pad work and partner drills, along with controlled play sparring to put skills into practice. Throughout, Kru Chris and assistant instructors are helping correct form, iron out technique, etc. Phase 2 (for more advanced students) works on more advanced techniques and strategies, plus more rigorous sparring. On Saturdays, there is a ring class (my favorite) that is a little longer and focuses on ring awareness and techniques, and often allows more time for some in-depth work on specific aspects. Additionally, it gives some opportunities for sparring with a ring.

One of the best aspects of TAG is the group of people you train with! Egos are left at the door and everyone is committed to learning and improving with one another. The classes run the gamut in terms of age and gender, so you don't have to worry about the macho shunning that some martial arts gyms end up doing. Everyone is welcoming, and I really feel like I've made a lot of good friends in addition to good training partners.

If you're looking to become a fighter, learn self-defense, or just get a good workout, you will find what you're looking for.

Execellent coaching and modern facilities with an old school feel. Perfect for beginners or experienced fighters. Love the family like environment!

Great place to train for Thai boxing and MMA fighting. I remember visiting T.A.G. back in the day in the owner garage. This place has come a long way. Outstanding instructors and facility. I recommend this place to anyone that's looking into getting great physical shape or learning new MMA techniques to further enhance their skills. Chris is an awesome owner/instructor. He epitomizes great training.

T.A.G has very quickly become an incredibly close family with me. Even though life is cluttered at the moment and I cannot train as much as I d like I am still welcomed with open arms regardless of when I do. I am looking forward to this summer when I ll be able to train heavily, for me it is worth the wait. T.A.G is one of the most competent well grounded Muy Thai schools you will find and hands down the best on the east coast.

I have been in affiliation with TAG Muay Thai for two years now and I can honestly say this is one of the best programs I have ever been apart of. Kru Chris has years of authentic Muay Thai experience and knowledge. If there is anyone I trust to get me to the level of experience I aspire to have, it would be Kru Chris. The students themselves are also very knowledgeable and always willing to help you as much as they can. Everyone is extremely friendly, and never makes you feel like you re an outsider. I would recommend this program to anyone with experience or none at all. Everyone is welcome.

Great experience! Aboy is a great instructor who trained my class. Very in-depth and makes sure you understand the material.

If you want to learn a bunch of fancy flips and self defense locks that aren t effective in real life street fights, go somewhere else. TAG Muay Thai trains fighters. Plain and simple. The instructor, Chris, has many years of experience under his belt and it shows through his teaching. Very lucky to have found this place in a world of 3 year guaranteed black belt mcdojos. Would highly recommend if you want to learn effective real world fighting skills.

These guys are great. My 4 year old loves the teachers and the class. He can't wait to go to class and never wants to leave, which is a nice change of pace from his other activities. Highly recommended.

T.A.G. is awesome! As someone brand new to martial arts and Muay Thai, I was really nervous to start. As soon as I took my first class, I felt right at home. All the instructors and students are very friendly and helpful. No matter what level you are, you will learn and be pushed!

I love training here. All skill levels are present from first day to years in the sport. Everyone is super respectful of one another and where each other s skill levels are at. Kru Aboy is humble and extremely nice and in my experience has tried to help with everything he can. TAG focuses on all the things other places don t typically focus on (I ve trained at a lot of places) like the small little things that could be the difference of getting KO d or not. Tucking the chin, clenching the jaw, foot placement, shoulder posture and positioning, tucked elbows, pivoting or using your hips and a lot more. Precision and speed is key, but they teach at a slow pace to make sure the beginners can learn and learn quickly but most importantly they learn properly. Overall I recommend TAG Muay Thai to any and everyone whether you re new or experienced or you re just curious and want to see what it s about. If you want an intense workout where you learn as well then come in and join us! They have a free trial period too so what do you got to lose?!?!

I travel very frequently for work and found it difficult to maintain my training. I was fortunate enough to run into TAG Muay Thai while on a two week long work trip. Having been to multiple gyms in NYC and on the road, TAG is one of the best out there.

This is not a gym where people are looking to prove themselves or where more senior trainers assert their dominance over newer students. No one is looking to hurt anyone. Rather, everyone was very welcoming and truly looked to improve others in addition to themselves. The wide variety of skill levels makes it easy for a newbie or someone with some experience like myself to jump right in.

The classes were very well structured and each drill flowed seamlessly to the next. I had the opportunity to train with people of different sizes and skill levels - which improves my abilities. The classes were not just skill building. Rather, it was a tough HIIT workout built into the training session.

The facilities were clean and had sufficient ventilation. The trainers were very knowledgeable but did not expect you to worship them. This is what a modern training facility should entail. The TAG model works well for anyone looking to learn a new skill or get in shape. I will definitely return when I'm in the area.

An amazing instructor who cares genuinely about your experience and your efforts into the fighting style. He is always willing to help you and I highly recommend seeing him for any self defense or mma learning!!

Amazing people, great training program. We travel 1.5 hours to train with them, nothing but the best! Very knowledgeable, patient and kind. Amazing customer service. They clearly love what they do and believe in Muay Thai!

TAG does a great job with both the beginners as well as the more advanced students looking to compete. Chris brings a great deal of experience from a strong line of Muay Thai heritage as well as real world experience. Check them out, you will not be disappointed!

I started training at TAG Muay Thai when I was 16 years old and to say that it changed my life is an understatement. I went from a shy, introverted teenage girl to a competitive fighter because of the support and coaching at TAG. From the minute I walked into the door I was accepted and supported, and the training is top-notch as well. If you're looking for fitness, self-defense, or if you want to compete, TAG will cater to your personal goals and help you achieve them.
Kru Chris is a talented professional and he and his team work hard to make sure everyone has the best experience possible and improves at a steady pace.
The gym culture is extremely positive and I have made life-long friends there.

This place is great, I signed my kids up here. We tried two other martial arts places and they gave us one day trials. Here they gave us four class trial which was plenty of time to figure out if my kids wanted to continue or not.

The kids class has about 10 students and three to four coaches with those students. Which is a great ratio because the kids get a lot of individual attention throughout the class.

The coaches here are Stern, but very nice. There's no goofing off in here at all so if your kid goof off a lot (like mine) this is the place to be, because the coaches do not tolerate it. Discipline is a big Focus here and my kids can't get enough of it. They love their coaches and Muay Thai is always talk about now.

I can't say enough, I'm very pleased with my experience here so far and I don't expect it to change.

This is terrific! Badass training. I highly recommend.

Awesome place if you want to pick something that will keep you in shape and also give you more confidence. The instructors are very helpful & also have taught the other people in the class to be very helpful. Great way to do cardio & ask for Chris he s a great teacher.

Brought my daughter and son, six and three, to T.A.G. s kids class and couldn t have been happier with the instruction they received. They were a little nervous beforehand but were asking me when we are coming back before I could get them off the mat at the end of the class. Great teacher-student ratio and patient, professional instructors.

Recently started training at this gym and it's been a great experience. Kru Aboy and all the students have been very helpful, supportive, and encouraging. If you're looking for a Muay Thai gym in the northern Virginia area for any reason (fitness, self defense, ect.) I highly recommend T.A.G Muay Thai.

I ve been training with Chris for several years. I can tell you he sincerely pours his skill and passion into every session; he can spot a technical error no matter how minut from across the gym. Chris has a vested interest in the success of each person who walks thru his doors and he makes you feel it. From day one when you decide to drop in for a free session you feel the energy, encouragement, and most importantly- never judged by your level of fitness or understanding of the sport. Your probably not going to be the next big MMA fighter but he and his team make you feel like your getting that level of undivided technical skill training. If you ever thought of trying Muy Thai look nowhere else. Kru Chris and his talented instructor cadre are waiting for you!

I ve been researching places for a while and finally came across this one. I decided to check it out and I m so glad I did. The instructors are very professional and super helpful. The gym is super clean, very welcoming, and over all a great environment. Not to mention the instructor is extremely nice to look at.

By far the most experienced and knowledgeable instructors that I know. Chris is the man, humble and respectful! Best instructor in town! Highly recommend for everyone!!

Overall - one of the best gyms I ve come across! Everyone there is very welcoming and wants you to succeed. Chris encourages for the advanced folks to pair up with less experienced students so they can provide guidance throughout drills, so it s like getting a personal training session as you work on your technique! Great vibes and positive atmosphere. Chris is also very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. Whether your goal is to learn Muay Thai, improve your technique, or just get your cardio on, I would highly recommend this gym!

I worked with Chris on one of his training events, and he's clearly incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and good at educating his attendees! He's the guy to go to if you want to get serious!

Whether you ve been thinking of trying Muay Thai for fitness or aspire to be the next champ, you MUST check out TAG Muay Thai!

Chris and his coaches are amazing! I ve been training in Muay Thai for years and am SO greatful I found this amazing team! After suffering a few injuries over the years, I m pleased to find coaches that don t have a problem giving me a scaled version of the workout or drills.

Welcoming all ages and athletic abilities, be sure to check them out!

Just started training at T.A.G . Chris Aboy, the instructor is phenomenal, super knowledgeable, explains and demonstrates every move super clear. Vary all exercises and technique every single class so you don't get bored. Everybody was welcoming and very friendly. I always burn more than 600 calories per class (1 hour class) according to my chest heart rate monitor. I finished every classed cover in sweat and evenly sore everywhere which is the sign of a good workout and what I was looking for.

I recently started training at T.A.G. with zero martial arts experience. Originally, I wasn't sure what the differences were in different martial arts or in different gyms. I tried many of them. Even after trying T.A.G. and loving it, I kept trying new techniques and new places, but I never found anything that suited me like T.A.G. Kru Chris, his staff, and the entire class are amazing. The more experienced people, instructors and students, are always reaching out to help the less experienced people like me learn the correct techniques and to make everyone feel welcome and have fun. It is quickly becoming my family and I'm constantly looking forward to the next opportunity. Of course I started out with a lot of concerns, old injuries, age, gender, goals, personality, etc., but everytime I thought of something that worried me, the people at T.A.G. would put me at ease without even knowing or trying. Thanks to T.A.G., I'm no longer bored with working out; I'm meeting really great people and making new friends while training hard and learning a technical martial art. I've been hesitant to do this my whole life and T.A.G. has made it easy. Now I can't wait to get my kids involved.

Great place to learn or enhance your Muay Thai game. I am very pleased with the quality of TAG Muay Thai practices. Very welcoming school, everyone is super friendly. Very trustworthy and safe. The main coach/instructor, Kru Chris, is a man that has an all encompassing love and passion for his practice. He personally teaches every class with an extremely pragmatic approach to Muay Thai. In addition, his openness to his student's input and questions is unprecedented. He pays attention to everyone,take notes and do correct techniques or positioning or movements. Met some really nice people there, gave me loads of good advises on fighting techniques. Great energy!
In short, awesome experience, very much enjoying each practice therefore I highly recommend TAG Muay Thai and Kru Chris.

Great overall program and experience. If you are looking for a gym where you will be pushed both physically and mentally then this is the school for you. This is not a belt school. Instructor Aboy and his team are extremely knowledgeable and run a great program. They provide an overall welcome experience and environment that allows you to train and grow.

Ive been training here for about 2-3 months now and I'm loving every second of it, if you're someone who's interested in learning Muay Thai definitely check it out!

Any one looking to learn about the Art of Muay Thai or just looking to get fit - Try a class at T.A.G. and experience the school for yourself. I guarantee you will have a great experience as I did.

Took my first Muay Thai class here at T.A.G and I can t say enough great things. The coaching was phenomenal. Chris is passionate and knowledgeable about Muay Thai which makes me want to learn more! I felt welcomed by everyone there they were all very patient with me being a beginner. Each exercise was broken down step by step to make things easier to learn. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by and taking a class! Great place to learn and get connected with an amazing community. I ll be back for more!
