This was the best martial arts school in ct hands down. I had such a good time being a kickboxer I learned so much muay thai at Thorntons martial. Good staff. Clean bathrooms and good people. Definitely check it out if you are in the area.

Just dropped in today and trained with them for the evening. Kru Ed was very friendly and welcoming and gave me a tour around the facilities. Since I arrived early, I was also able to mingle and meet some of the classmates prior to working out.When training started, everyone in the class was super friendly and I appreciated everyone’s attitude in making sure that we were all getting a good workout, but balancing being safe and not cranking 100% on people’s neck during clinch (which is a common issue I see when cross training at some gyms). I can tell this gym emphasizes being a good partner and working together to improve, rather than letting people with big egos run the show.I will definitely be coming back, as I had a great experience with the Thornton team. Thank you all!

Thornton Martial Arts and Fitness is a the best Family oriented, Face Smashing, Leg Breaking, Close Quarter Combative Training facility that you'll find. If you want to defend yourself from this cruel world while meeting new people and getting in shape, I'd suggest You Join Thorntons. Our Family loves it here and we're proud to say that we're more than members but family.

I've only been a member for 4 weeks but I couldn't be happier with the decision to attend Muay Thai classes here. The staff and coaches are friendly, patient, and welcoming. Kru Ed challenges his staff and his members to do their best and have fun learning the different martial arts styles offered. I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

Love this place! My daughter started the Muay Thai class this past summer and she loves it. The staff are friendly, coaches are knowledgeable, and the facility is clean and adheres to cleanliness standards that are up to par. I recently joined the Muay Thai fundamentals class and the strength and conditioning. Both classes are great; no class is like the other, so its never boring! (I found out about the facility through Instagram and I'm so glad that I found it!)
