My husband & I joined Pu’u a month ago and are totally hooked. Kru Ed is an awesome teacher - his instruction is super practical and he makes classes fun. All the coaches, as well as our fellow students, have been very welcoming and encouraging. It’s an incredible art being taught in a great community.
The staff is very friendly and nice, the school smells nice too. :)
So far I have only done one class here so far but I really liked the culture and the teaching method, Kru Ed was great! Definitely planning to return
Just enrolled my son. He's very excited! They have made it an easy process and easy to follow steps to enroll. They really care about new students and making sure they are set. He got to sit and watch one of the classes and the staff was amazing and super friendly.
The classes here are perfectly paced and the coaches are friendly.
I loved the environment here! I was extremely new to Muay Thai and was even blessed with a free two weeks! Any business that cares more about a woman learning self defense over money is HUGE to mee. Thanks again Pu’uu Muay Thai for the awesome learning experience. I definitely recommend your gym and I hope/plan to come back in the future.
My son is really enjoying training at Pu'u Muay Thai. This is his first time trying a martial art and he likes the staff, is having fun and is getting great workouts here.
Great Place!
Quality striking academy in Ventura. Authentic Muay Thai techniques. I’ve learned a ton in the short time I’ve been here. Highly recommend.
Love his pace extremely professional and what there doing with the youth is amazing 👏 The leadership there is a reflection on such a well ran business.
I’ve had the greatest experience at this gym. Pu’u Muay Thai has great coaches and a professional staff thats always attentive to my child’s development.

Great gym!
A great place to get exercise in while learning martial arts. The instructors are so helpful and friendly. Workouts outs are created so everyone can operate at their own level.
Top notch!
It’s already been a couple of years I started practicing Muay Thai here, and it’s been a really transformative journey so far. It’s not just an effective (and fun!) total body workout, it’s also great for building confidence and inner strength. I’d recommend it to anyone!
Amazing instructors and great community atmosphere!
ฉันเป็นคนไทยและรู้เรื่องมวยไทยเป็นอย่างดี ฉันรับรองได้ว่าที่นี่สอนมวยไทยได้มาตราฐานแบบเดียวกับที่เมืองไทย ลูกสาวฉันก็เคยเรียนที่นี้ ซึ่งมันก็ได้ผลเป็นอย่างดี ตอนนี้มวยไทยเป็นที่ยอมรับทั่วโลก และได้ถูกบรรจุเป็นกีฬาสากลในโอลิมปิค ปี 2028 ที่ Los Angeles นั่นคือสิ่งที่ยืนยันได้ว่ามวยไทยเป็นกีฬาที่ได้รับการยอมรับมากที่สุด
Great coaches, great classes, great structure all the way around Thanks puu Muay Thai 🥊
my son is six and loves coming here, they are great with the kids, i would recommend this gym to anyone
Very good experience
Pu’u Muay Thai is my sweaty church . The coaches are high priests of the art of Eight Limbs . The atmosphere and camaraderie between the staff and students makes it more like a family gathering than a gym . Pu’u Muay Thai is a true gem in the community and I love watching new students discover the joy of learning Muay Thai
Amazing place!
I was nervous to join due to my slight social anxiety, but these guys said it's a judgment free zone and made me feel safe and secure. I can't wait to increase my skill over the months to a high skill level to feel even more safe, secure, maintained, and balanced within my own self.

I can't wait to increase my skill over the months to a high skill level to feel even more safe, secure, maintained, and balanced within my own self. By my second class, I was already realizing how to have better form and movement, and I actually come from a martial arts background. The coaches and students here are definitely the best I've ever experienced in the many cities and states I've lived in. This is the real deal for someone who wants to step up there with the ways of the best in the world and rebuild and reform themselves from scratch into a better foundation and future. Less
Pu’u Muay Thai is a fantastic place to learn! I would highly suggest their academy. Their coaches are great and they make it fun to learn! Be ready to sweat! 😉
My first class was really good. I worked up a good sweat and learned some basic techniques. The instructor took the time to show the small things to ensure our form was correct. Looking forward to learning more.
Kru Ed’s classes are the best
Cool atmosphere great instructors highly recommend for whatever level your at
As a newcomer to martial arts I was really nervous about trying Muay Thai here for the first time. Let me tell you that they made me feel at home right away and the community and lessons have been fantastic. Every week I look forward to coming to classes. You get great workouts and each fires up my desire to learn more and improve at Muay Thai. I highly recommend Pu'u Muay Thai to all!

Awesome classes, really great coaches and great classmates
I've been practicing in this gym for almost a year now they have the best instructors to help you achieve whatever it is your looking for . highly recommend it 👌
This is a great program. The coaches are very patient and well trained. They adapt to the maturity level of the kids and find ways to keep them engaged and make it fun. My five year old loves this gym
Best muay thai gym in ventura County! coach Steven is excellent and deserves a raise!!!
Great for fundamentals & a workout !
I have been coming to Pu’u Muay Thai since 2018 and have always had a positive experience. The community here is warm and accepting. If you are looking for a place to learn Muay Thai I would highly recommend coming here!
This is one of the best Muay Thai school in all of Ventura county!! Not only for advanced/ intermediate students but for beginners as well!! The classes has different times to fit everyone’s different schedules!! 5/5 would definitely recommend Muay Thai to everyone, no matter what age or size you are! Come try it out!

Great place to begin learning the fundamental of Muay Thai as well as continuing to improve your fighting skills for more advanced students.
We love this place. I have been sending my 6 year old there for a few years. His confidence has greatly increased and the class helps him grow strong and fit, while learning practical and effective self defense skills. The teachers are amazing. All of them! They are great with kids and have the art of teaching down. The adult classes look incredibly fun. Awesome spot!
Great academy with awesome instructors! Thank you Team Pu’u for putting forth the hard work to provide quality Muay Thai to your Ventura community! It’s a privilege to train here!
Such a great beginning experience. Fun, tough, and welcoming. I thought I would give Muay Thai a shot (I've been curious about martial arts) and I'm so glad I did.

Such a great beginning experience. Fun, tough, and welcoming. I thought I would give Muay Thai a shot (I've been curious about martial arts) and I'm so glad I did. I do yoga regularly and I've been curious about gaining more strength and self-defense skills. I really enjoy a community that respectfully fosters growth in one another. The team (and students) at Pu'u Muay Thai really bring that type of growth-centered attitude. I felt so entirely welcomed (despite my obvious fear of being hurt, embarrassed, and simply getting out of my comfort zone) that I would encourage any of my friends to give it a try. (They gift a two-week free trial for beginners!) Two of the instructors (Ed and Ralph) made it such a fun, informative, and engaging experience. And, Arie (at the front desk) was just the best. I am bummed to be moving very soon and unable to continue at Pu'u Muay Thai... I feel grateful I was able to participate - even if only for a little while. Thanks, Pu'u Muay Thai! Less
Most fun I’ve had learning a martial art in a very long time. Coaches are Greta and very attentive and everyone I’ve trained with has been a ton of help and super uplifting. I look forward to coming back every week!
I've attended Pu'u Muay Thai in Ventura for nearly a month now. The instructors are very engaging, open to questions and seem to be Very into what they're doing! As for the attendance, everyone is nice and also willing to share what they have learned so far. I highly recommend Pu'u Muay Thai for anyone from Beginner to Expert.
Professional, humble and very attentive to their students. As Beginner I was worried I'd be left in the coattails but these coaches know what they're doing and will work with your strengths and weaknesses.

The gym is very clean and smells good- they're big on hygiene and safety. All of the gear is high quality and in good condition. There's a variety of different skill-level classes each day. I wish they were open on Fridays or Sundays, but that is literally the only thing I'd change about this gym! I had no martial arts experience before joining, but that was no problem. There's something for everyone here- regardless of skill level. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for a year-long membership just a few weeks after my 1st class. 10/10 highly recommend! Less
I can’t say how much I love going !the staff and coaches are amazing it’s fun and the people are like family they make you feel welcome ❤️
If you've ever found the idea of joining a martial arts school intimidating, hesitate no longer! This school cultivates a positive community that supports growth, whatever your goals are. Get yourself through the door the first time and you won't regret it!
This martial art studio is simply amazing. The moment you walk in you feel welcome, appreciated, accepted and valued. My kids have developed a great sense of community here and they love training with all the coaches, Kru Ed, Kru Johnathan and Coach Steve. Highly recommend!! 🙏🏻♥️

Muay Thai is a great discipline to learn to get in shape learn how to be confident within the realm of self-defense and self-esteem. You can be a regular, or you could be a regular who competes at sanctioned state-run competitions. Either way, it is a great experience and great people to train with.
Since the moment I inquired to signing up and now enrolled, staff and instructors have been friendly, informative and make you feel comfortable! Good workout too!
Nice place to learn muay thai... nice and reputable coaches. Nice environment stay healthy.
One of Ventura’s best!! I love this academy . Great structured curriculum to help each students advancement. Great for beginners as well as anyone with previous martial arts training. Very friendly staff. Kru Jonathan has done a lot of work to establish this great academy and continues to work hard to leave his footprint in the Muay Thai community as well as in our community here in Ventura.

Top notch instruction and academy. Kru Jon a real student of the game! Give them a try for fitness, self defense or competition!

I love Puu Muay Thai! I am a PMT SB student, and had nowhere to train when all gyms were shut down due to COVID-19. Along with our PMT SB Coach Ryan, Kru Johnathan has worked tirelessly to put together quality online programming for at-home Muay Thai. PMT was one of the first Muay Thai studios to start offering Zoom classes when we had to shelter in place. The investment that the kru and coaches make in us students is palpable, and their dedication to us keeps me committed. You won’t find a more supportive place to start if you’re new to the sport, and if you’re advanced, they can support your growth even further. I can’t recommend PMT enough for mental and physical health during this pandemic. Although I am a Puu Muay Thai SB student when we are in person, I plan to visit and train at PMT Ventura every once in a while when this is all over because I have appreciated the students and coaches over there so greatly!!!

I just joined after finishing my 2 week free trial. I had many nerves stepping in here for the first time due to my lack of having ever taken a martial arts class in my 24 years of life. I was worried about being the new guy and embarrassing myself infront of the more experienced members, but let me tell you, those feelings went away from class #1. The coach and the fellow students were all more than helpful and understanding of my noviceness. Everyone gave advice or tips and helped me feel comfortable. I have since then gone to more classes and have had the opportunity of working with different coaches and other students and each one of them gave me the same welcoming vibe. The owner, his brother, and everyone of the staff and coaches there will treat you like family and if i could rate it more than 5 stars I would. Less

I've been attending the academy for a couple years now and I can confidently say that the teaching is of a very high quality. The coaches are attentive and really care about their student's growth. Class availability is ample, so anyone should be able to fit it into their schedule. I've met a lot of good folks there and I would just generally say it is a great place to train.
Pu’u Muay Thai a great martial art school, great instructors great costumer service. It makes you feel welcome. It is Clean and friendly atmosphere.
Training at Pu’u has been an awesome experience. Everyone is very welcoming and willing to help out all levels of students whether it is your first day or you’ve been training for a while. Super clean and good vibes. I’m kicking myself for not signing up earlier (pun intended).
Out of all the gyms I’ve been to so far, Pu’u Muay Thai had really made me feel like part of a family. I have never felt so supported and motivated in my Muay Thai journey. Kru Jonathan an amazing instructor, and a wonderful person. If you’re looking for an authentic Muay Thai experience then Pu’u Muay Thai is the place to be!
Always a welcoming clean gym. Instructors have proven knowledge and make classes fun and challenging!
When you walk into this place you are always greeted and welcomed. All of the staff and students are some of the most friendly people I h e ever met. The gym is always fresh and clean, and the instructors make you feel like family as they share their knowledge. If you are looking to challenge yourself and learn something new they will make you feel right at home!
6 months since my last review and I've moved into the Intermediate/Advanced Program and it's so much fun and such a great challenge. The instructors and friends I've made are such encouraging, positive influences! Anyone thinking of getting into martial arts should come here!
A life changing experience. I walked in with no martial art experience and could barely look at people in the eye during a conversation. Through consistent training, an extremely welcoming environment and leadership program I have grown so much as a person and young adult I can not thank Kru Jonathan enough !
really small and smelly

Muay Thai changed my daughters life, and helped her become more confident. My daughter was always getting picked on at school. I always tried to teach her to stand up for herself. She just lacked confidence in herself. When i enrolled her in the kids program at Muay Thai i started to see a difference in her. She started holding her head up a little higher, and now she uses her voice and will say stop and no or leave me alone. She finally has the confidence shes always lacked, and i've seen such amazing growth in her. My only regret is not enrolling her in the program a lot sooner. Less
I’ve trained at Pu’u for over a year now and consider it a vital part of my week. I did not have martial arts experience before starting, but found the staff and members to be welcoming and helpful. Training here has helped boost my confidence and discipline over my time here and I look forward to continually improving with the coaching staff.
I love training here. It's a great physical and mental workout. Kru Jonathan, Coach Kevin, and Coach Todd are the best!
Found this place by doing a little research, I was brand new to the sport and was lucky to find this gym. Great instructors that are attentive & make you feel welcome. Every member I met was quick to give you a tip, or make you feel part of the team. If you haven’t give this place a try before you sign up anywhere else, you won’t regret it.
Great energy great people
This is the best, most fun workout I have ever done. Every single instructor is amazing and all of the students form a friendly team atmosphere. Never once had less than an outstanding time coming to this gym.
I have been training here for almost three years. I come almost everyday. I absolutely love it. All of the coaches are amazing, informative and supportive. I love learning new techniques everyday. The entire staff are so welcoming and kind. I appreciate the cleanilyness of the entire gym. I am so lucky to have made so many new friends. I can't wait to earn to my blue shirt.
