Muay Thai Madrid

It depends what you want. For authentic, dedicated muay thai with a strong competition team, Muay Thai Leal (Tetuán) and Killer Bees Muay Thai College (Carabanchel) both hold exceptional ratings and are widely regarded among the best in the city. For a broad combat-sports experience with top facilities, The Black Panther Gym is a popular choice. The 'best' gym is the one whose location, schedule and style fit your goals — most offer a trial class, so it's worth visiting a couple.

Most Madrid gyms charge roughly €60-80 per month for unlimited classes. Killer Bees is around €80/month unlimited, Muay Thai Leal around €65/month, and The Black Panther Gym from €60/month for a single discipline. Many gyms offer a free or discounted trial class, and some have registration fees or multi-month discounts. Always confirm current pricing directly with the gym.

Absolutely. Nearly every gym in this guide runs classes for all levels and is used to welcoming complete beginners — several, like Muay Thai Madrid (Boxeo Tailandés) and Killer Bees, are repeatedly praised by first-timers for how comfortable they make newcomers feel. You don't need any experience or your own equipment to start; most gyms can lend gloves for a first session.

Several do. Madrid has a large international and expat community, and gyms like Muay Thai Leal (coach Andrés speaks English), Killer Bees (coach Alberth teaches in English) and Muay Thai Madrid attract many international members and reviews. If English instruction matters to you, it's worth mentioning when you book your trial class.

Carabanchel in the south is a real hub, home to Killer Bees, JC Fight Team and The Black Panther Gym. Tetuán in the north has Muay Thai Leal and Muay Thai Madrid. Other strong options sit in Usera, Villaverde and — just outside the city — Rivas-Vaciamadrid, where Madrid Box is based. Wherever you are in Madrid, there's likely a quality gym within reach.

Yes, and growing. Muay thai has become increasingly popular across Spain over the past decade, and Madrid is one of its strongest centres — the city hosts WBC Muaythai Spanish national title fights and has produced world-level fighters, most notably Madrid-born WBC Muaythai featherweight world champion Antonio Orden. The number and quality of gyms in the city reflect that momentum.
