Whether you're just starting out or already deep into your Muay Thai journey, one-on-one personal training (PT) can be the game-changer that takes your skills to the next level.

At Maneema Muay Thai, our group classes are dynamic, technical, and community-driven — but nothing compares to the focused attention and rapid progress you gain through PT sessions.

Here’s why:

1. 100% Focus on You

In a group setting, coaches are managing multiple students with different experience levels. In a PT session, the coach’s eyes are on you the entire time — correcting your form, refining your technique, and giving instant feedback. No second-guessing. Just pure, focused development.

2. Faster Progress, Tailored to Your Goals

Want to sharpen your kicks? Improve your clinch? Prepare for your first fight? PT allows you to train exactly for your goals. You’re not limited by the structure of a class — you work on what you need most.

3. Develop Ring IQ and Fight Strategy

PT isn’t just about padwork — it’s about learning the “why” behind each movement. Our coaches break down timing, distance, setups, and how to think like a fighter. Whether you're planning to compete or just want to move like one, this deeper understanding makes all the difference.

4. Train with Coaches Who Bring the Thai Experience

At Maneema, our PT sessions are led by Coach Pong and Coach Lek, both born and raised in Thailand with decades of experience in traditional Muay Thai.

Pong brings sharp precision, fight IQ, and a calm but focused coaching style. Perfect if you're looking to refine technique and develop intelligent movement.
Lek is high-energy and hands-on, known for his fast-paced padwork, intense conditioning, and creative clinch work. He often teaches his own signature fight moves — including some wild, effective sweeps you won’t see in textbooks.

Each brings a different energy and skillset — and you can choose the one that suits your style best.

5. Ready to level up? PT Is the Bridge from Average to IQ

Many of our most skilled students started right where you are — in Beginners 101. What helped them stand out? Private Training.

PT is where you refine the details, correct mistakes early, and build real confidence with focused, hands-on coaching. It’s the fastest way to level up your technique, timing, and understanding of Muay Thai.

Whether you want to feel more confident in class or just improve faster — PT is your edge.
