What a class is like
Warm up, drill, work with a partner, cool down
Every class follows the same four parts, in every lane. A coach explains each drill before you try it.
- 01
Warm up
Rope, light movement and a few minutes of footwork, at a pace you can scale.
- 02
Drill
One technique at a time, slowly, with a partner who is working with you.
- 03
Pads or partner work
Strikes on pads, grips in the clinch or positions on the mat, depending on the class.
- 04
Cool down
A few easy minutes to breathe, stretch and ask the coach anything.

Coaches
Who is on the mat
A head coach and two coaches share the week. Spanish is spoken at the front desk and in class.
Jeremias Pichardo
Owner and head coach
Jeremias runs the academy and teaches the adult clinch, takedown and grappling classes. He grew up in a Dominican family in Pawtucket and coaches in English and Spanish.
Neng Rattanakul
Striking coach
Neng teaches Muay Thai pad work, light sparring and strength and conditioning. He holds the pads, calls every round and starts each new student at level 1.
Apolonia Genao
Kids' and teens' coach
Apolonia leads the kids' classes and the teens' class. She sits with parents at the bench before a first class and speaks Spanish with families who prefer it.
Questions
Before your first class
Can I watch a class first?
Yes. Parents and anyone thinking of joining can sit on the bench by the mat and watch any class.
What do I wear and bring to the first class?
A plain t-shirt, shorts or loose trousers, and a water bottle. Take off jewelry, tie hair back and leave shoes off the mat. Gloves and shin guards to borrow are at the front desk, and a coach helps you fit them.
How does sparring start, and what does contact level mean?
Level 1 is drills and pad work only. Level 2 adds light rounds with a partner your size, called by a coach. Level 3 adds longer rounds when you and your coach agree you are ready. A tap or the word stop ends a round at once.
Can adults and kids train together?
Kids, teens and adults train in their own classes. A family plan puts everyone under one agreement, and on Saturday mornings parents and kids can train at the same time in separate groups.
How does tuition work, and how do I cancel?
Tuition is set by the program, the lane you train in and how many classes a week. Adult plans start with three months, then run month to month, and kids' plans are month to month. You cancel in writing with 30 days' notice. The membership page has the rest.
