    I have been taking Muay Thai at Active Edge for a little over a year now. The instructor Chai Earmsmuth is an excellent instructor. His technique and skills are exceptional. The gym has a very comfortable atmosphere and whether you are a beginner or a veteran of Muay Thai Chai is very much able to train at both levels to get you what you need.

They don’t just have Muay Thai , they also have Traditional Boxing, Judo, Yoga, and Kids Muay Thai! The friendly atmosphere is great! The place is very clean and the staff is extremely helpful! I highly recommend Active Edge!

    I’ve been looking for Muay Thai in the chicago area for a while. I keep finding these schools, mostly MMA, who throw in a few knees, leg kicks, and elbows and call it Muay Thai. I found Active Edge and went there a few times and trained with Kru Chai. Kru Chai is very experienced and proficient at breaking down the techniques and teaches in a very traditional manner. He’s the biggest Thai guy Ive ever seen! He’s like 210 lbs, 6 ft tall and very powerful. They say he’s 100% Thai but born in the US. Even though he was born here, he embraces his culture and traditions with passion which is what makes the Muay Thai here different. I highly recommend classes there and even privates which had helped me alot.
