What a wonderful place - J.T. is awesome, both professionally and personally. We met thru the Rock Steady Parkinson’s program — to say that in less than one month it has changed our lives would truly be an understatement. No lack of motivation or inspiration at his Mauy Thai Academy !! Thank you Kru J.T. Smith! And a huge thank you also to all the volunteers and other participants in the Rock Steady program. More...

I can't say enough good things about Lake Norman Muay Thai. Kru Jt, Kru Matt, Kru Sean are all great guys, who throughly love the sport, know the sport, and love to teach. It can be intimidating walking into something your unfamiliar with, but the coaches and members are all so excited to have you their and to help you learn! It's a great workout with a fun, safe and friendly environment. PLUS you get a week free, what do you have to lose! It's the best part of my day! More...

My son, Bentley, attends classes at Lake Norman Muay Thai. He loves going to class and enjoys learning all the new techniques. When he first started, he was nervous, but he opened up quickly and made new friends. Lake Norman Muay Thai is not just an after school activity for Bentley, it’s become more of a family. Bentley now looks up to both Kru. They are very patient and keep Bentley moving towards his goal and pushing him to become better than he was the class before. Bentley is learning more than just Muay Thai techniques, he has learned so much about the history of Muay Thai and Thailand. He enjoys educating his teacher and friends at school all about Muay Thai! Not only does Lake Norman Muay Thai hold Muay Thai classes for all ages, but outside of the facility they have outdoor training, lake days, movie nights, summer camps and so much more. Bentley attended a Be your own hero summer camp and loved it. Along with self defense and Muay Thai training he was also introduced to jujitsu. I held Bentley’s birthday party at Lake Norman Muay Thai. Best decision! Kru had a ton of games to keep all the boys active and entertained. Balloon stomp, obstacle course dodge ball, among other games were a blast. I also bought a piñata that looked like a heavy bag, It was perfect! I am so Thankful for Kru and everything he did that day! I highly recommend Lake Norman Muay Thai! I couldn’t imagine Bentley being a part of a greater group of people. More...

My daughter had a blast kicking it at the lake this morning. What a great group of people to be around. My ultimate goal is for my girl to feel safe while she learns to protect herself in this scary world and LKN Muay Thai has gone above and beyond my expectations. Thank you for a great morning. Also a special thanks to another student. I believe his name is Omar. I saw you taking time to help my girl with her kicks. Your kindness is much appreciated. Your Kru should be proud. More...

We attended an afternoon self defense workshop. My boys really enjoyed the one on one training. Our overall experience was excellent and we hope to do more with JT in the future.

When I first started here, I had little to no knowledge about muay thai. The only martial art I had experience in was bjj so coming here for the first time made me nervous, but that all went away as soon as I walked in the door. Everyone is so kind and welcolming. At LKN Muay Tai, professionals, beginners, and people with different martial arts backgrounds come together, work together, and get stronger together. If you wanna get in shape, train for competition, or just train for the hell of it, then this is the place for you! More...

When my son started training for MMA at the age of 10 two years ago, we wanted to find a place that would be able to expand his skills. After learning some boxing and kicking techniques, we found LKN Muay Thai to bring the two skills together. With Kru JT's experience and training he was able to go to his first tournament within 2 months of training. He has now competed in 3 tournaments in the past 6 months and continuing to hone his skills. My daughter now also has joined the Muay Thai art. I highly recommend trying a FREE class to see what Muay Thai is about. You don't become part of a training class but become a part of a Muay Thai family. More...

I was offered a free week and I loved it! JT is an amazing teacher, offering a lot of support to his students and correcting their form to the utmost perfection of Muay Thai expectations. I learned a great deal in only 4 days and through self reflection learned a lot about myself through those tough 4 days. JT is constantly respectful, mindful and caring to his students, and i would recommend his classes. More...

When our son wanted to try something outside the norm of traditional sports I started looking around. When I discovered JT was in town it was a no brainier.
After 2 years training Garret is stronger, more agile and his confidence level has increased significantly. JT stresses respect and manners and it shows in all his students. I am very glad Garret wanted to try Lake Norman Muay Thai and I'm even happier that he gets to learn from the best! Shaping the future of our youth is a huge responsibility and JT's efforts are very much appreciated. More...

I love this gym! From the moment I walked in the door I’ve felt so at home and learned so much. Wether you’re a beginner or someone more advanced looking to hone your skills there’s a place for everyone. The atmosphere is friendly, clean, safe and most of all extremely fun. JT is extremely knowledgeable and everyone in the gym is always super helpful. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and I’d definitely encourage all my friends to give Muay Thai a try! More...

Love love love this gym!! The owner is awesome. He isn't a shrewd businessman. He actually cares about everyone who steps in the door, whether it's your hundredth time coming in or your first. I was nervous to check it out cause I had never done martial arts before. Do what I did if you're nervous: message JT and blast him with your questions. Seriously though, he's amazing; you won't regret checking it out....Plus, it's not just for men and children. Women, you're never too old to try something new, and LKNMT is an awesome environment to learn Muay Thai. More...

I joined Lake Norman Muay Thai after my 42nd birthday. I had never done any martial arts in my life so I was apprehensive about walking into a room full of experienced people and looking completely foolish. JT invited me to do a free workout with just him to give me an idea of the basics of Muay Thai. After that, I decided that this was something I would enjoy doing much more than just going to a gym and lifting weights so I came to the next training session. The people there were of all ages and very welcoming. Any apprehensions I had previously were gone and I just focused on learning the awesome skill, culture, and history of Muay Thai. I have attended now for almost 6 months. I am in much better shape and I love the way I feel each time I finish a session. JT is a humble guy and a great trainer. I never thought I would be doing something like this at this stage of life. My wife and I even had our 8 year old son do a summer camp at Lake Norman Muay Thai and he loved it. I highly recommend this place without any reservation to anyone considering getting into mixed martial arts. -Brad More...
