I have been going to HK for over a year and I can not say enough great things about the coaches and the gym. Most of the time it’s the highlight of my day and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Muay Thai and meet great people.

It’s been almost 3 years since I started Muay Thai at Hard Knocks and I can’t say enough great things about this place. Ranging from new students to professional fighters, the atmosphere at Hard Knocks is unbeatable. The trainers are as professional as it comes. I promise you will not find a better striking gym in New England.

I’ve been training here for about 2 years now and it is the best decision I’ve made. I’ve made so many new friends, lost 80 pounds and continue to learn everyday. This gym has so much to offer!

I have been training here 3 to 5 times a week for nearly 3 years now. Excellent real Muay Thai instruction. Bill the gym owner has been part of the Muay Thai scene in New England since the early 90's, and Jake who runs most of the classes is an absolute encyclopedia of Muay Thai knowledge and fight IQ, and has the ability to teach to prove it.The new location on 63 Sprague Street in Hyde Park is a total game changer, it has much more space for more equipment, more students, more everything. There is even a full 22 foot boxing ring, very nice.Even if you have NO interest in becoming a fighter or fighting, you will have a blast, get in an excellent FUN workout, and be welcomed with open arms. Learn a new skill, get in shape, make some great friends. Highly recommended.

Been training at Hardknocks for 3 years now and I've watched things go from Good to better! Just moved in to a new and larger space that's still in the city, and accessible by MBTA if you don't/can't drive.The training is great, if it wasn't I wouldn't have been here for 3 years. Everyone from the members to the trainers are cool and all are welcome, no bad vibes! They really go out of there way to help you out with your goals, weather it's to live a healthier lifestyle, build some confidence, or become a fighter, Hardknocks will give you it's best.It's also cool that now the gym is located right near Sky Zone, a rock climbing gym, and gymnastics gym.And its Affordable!

I was in Boston for 6 months due to work, and having tried Muay Thai in the past, decided to pick up again. Training at Hard Knocks was definitely one of the highlights of my stay in Boston. Jake and Bill are great instructors. They help you out with fundamentals and are patient and humble while pushing you to continually improve. Training with the other members has helped as well. Would highly recommend!
