North Shore Muay Thai Academy

Great instruction from great coach, I speak from personal experience. If you're looking for Muay Thai in the North Shore I couldn't recommend a better place!

Marc is a fantastic trainer with a wealth of skill, experience, and training under his belt. I would highly recommend him any day of the week.

Kru Marc is a great Muay Thai coach. I learned a lot from him both technique wise, and taking his classes my conditioning went up.

Always enjoyed training with Marc the last few years I’ve known him. Very knowledgeable and dedicated to teaching you the proper technique. Makes it fun to train with him whether you’re in for a quick workout or getting ready to compete. Highly recommended!

I learned how to trust another coach again because of Marc Meltzer. Him along with a mutual friend helped me through a horrible experience in another mma gym. His patience and understanding gave me the conference I needed to appreciate the sport again. I highly recommend NSMTA to anyone looking for a positive and motivating environment.

love working with Kru Marc.. been training with him for a while now and always learning new techniques. dosen't matter if your a beginner or advanced there are classes for everyone. come check out northshore muay thai.

I spent 12 years training martial arts in some form. I started with Jiu Jitsu (Japanese-style) and then moved onto muay thai, from one of the premiere MMA/Muay thai gyms in Boston, where I trained for 6 years or so until I moved and it was just too far away. I've also used groupons for a few other studios in Boston and on the North Shore - focusing mostly on muay thai and boxing. So I've seen a number of different approaches and formats over the years.North Shore Muay Thai Academy is great because the focus is almost entirely on Muay Thai. There are different types of muay thai classes every day - no competition with other martial arts like BJJ. I really like that as I have limited time and have always chosen to focus on muay thai (I just love to box) - so it's been harder at other places b/c I was much more limited in classes I could attend. With NSMTA, there are options every day, which is really nice.As far as the classes go, they are divided into technique classes, bag work (cardio and technique), and sparring with pad work. I really like the variety. I'm used to basically either a teaching class or conditioning class. So if I don't feel like sparring on that day, I just go earlier and do a good conditioning bag workout.As far as the atmosphere goes, it's cool. It's a good group, everyone is nice, no one is a jerk - which is really nice. Ppl are very respectful and looking to learn and have fun - no one is trying to break noses or anything. I've been places where I didn't really like the other ppl and it's just so much more fun when you like the guys you're working with.Kru Mark is a good teacher (explains the idea behind specific techniques as well as the general idea of the movements) and really nice guy. He's there day after day and brings good energy and an enthusiasm for the sport, which is great. And with his teaching, there's always a theme as we march through techniques, which I like a lot. I like structure to learning (as opposed to each day is a random lesson to learn), and it feels like there some of that here. Also, he teaches nearly all the classes, so it's nice to have that level of instruction all the time.If you're interested in learning muay thai, this is a great place to go.

North Shore Muay Thai is authentic Muay Thai. Quality instruction, great atmosphere, great mentoring. Mark Meltzer has trained with some of the greatest fighters/instructors in the Art of Muay Thai. Definitely worth the visit.

Marc Meltzer is an excellent coach who teaches an effective style of Dutch kickboxing mixed with Muay Thai. I highly recommend his classes, whether you’re a serious competitor or simply looking to get in shape and learn a new skill!

I have been a student n fighter at northshore muay Thai for on and off about 5 years. Kru Marc has got me to best fight promotion and win at lion fights at foxwoods but has gone as far as taking his time to train me at his house for mma fights as well. I can promise myself if you go and listen to Kru Marc you will not only become better at Muay Thai but be in amazing shape as well!!!
