Coastal Union Muay Thai Club

I started Muay Thai because I wanted to learn how to defend myself. Learning how to defend myself is part of the reason I keep training, but I’d be lying if I said it’s the whole reason. Before starting many of the training sessions I do find myself a bit nervous. The classes are challenging, they push you to your edge. While at the edge you have the option to push a little more or back off. If you ever find yourself needing that extra push you have a class full of some go the best to emulate. These people are some of the kindest most respectful that you’ll meet. They are awesome to train with and when you do finish a class you are left with an incredibly rewarding feeling. The classes are never easy, but the sense of accomplishment will keep you coming back!

I’ve been attending CTB for a couple of months now as a beginner in the evening classes. I had started with hopes of finding a new workout routine that I could learn some practical self Defense skills (as a woman, this is important to me) but I got a lot more than I bargained for here.
As someone who has no previous martial arts training or knowledge, I really appreciate the kindness and patience my instructors have with me. They allow me to take my time learning, answer my (endless) questions and teach me not only proper technique and form, but also the “why” behind what we do.the environment is professional, kind, friendly and gentle. If you’re new to boxing and are unsure or nervous about joining, your nerves will be quickly put to rest. The classes are a hard workout but not dangerous for beginners. The instructors are always vigilant to come check on students to correct their form.

The classes start with a cardio burst of jump rope for a few minutes and then on to skill training and defensive training. Then a killer conditioning finisher to end off the night. The beginners class is getting fuller every week that I attend and there’s no question why. The professionalism, respect and culture of this Gym is outstanding.

10/10 would recommend!

Just restarting my short Muay Thai career after a long covid sabatacle. What better place to get back into it than Coastal Union! Awesome, chill group, with an even cooler Sensei. Highly recommended. Waited about a year to get in but it was well worth it!

Definitely having a blast here at Coastal Union. Everyone there is super friendly and are very welcoming to beginners. Everyone of different skill sets are welcomed there. Everyone is very helpful at Coastal Union and every class is very fun and energetic. Definitely learning a lot more than a previous place I had attended to previously, and it's also a very healthy type of exercise, which helps you boost your stamina and lose weight. Wayne is a great instructor and is very helpful when your having difficulty during class. He is very encouraging and is very welcoming to beginners, where if your not able to do something or don't know how to, you won't be hesitant to ask him. If your interested in learning Muay Thai, whether your a beginner or experienced, I would highly recommend you join Coastal Union.

Very tight knit family atmosphere, everyone there is very welcoming and open to new students. There are all skill levels at every class and the more skilled participants were very willing to help out and share their skills.
The sensei is very knowledgeable, and takes his time to clearly describe each drill and how the skill should be executed and how your body should be properly positioned. I am very impressed and happy with coastal union muay thai, I couldn't imagine going anywhere else!

Excellent instructor and very clean dojo. The mats are also very good and seem to have a judo type subfloor.

I’ve trained Muay Thai all over the world including in the Netherlands & Singapore and I must say that Wayne is great at not just improving the conditioning of his students but also pays a lot of attention to teaching and improving technique. For me, after moving to BC recently Ive found the entire gym to be very friendly, welcoming with a great teacher and great fellow students. The gym provides a safe and respectful environment to teach the art of eight limbs.

Awesome gym, love the traditional feeling of it. Sensei offers great wisdoms that apply to both the martial arts and everyday life. Friendly and welcoming environment, would recommend to anyone, beginner or experienced!

Coastal Union is my favourite! When I moved to the area, I tried all of the local Muay Thai gyms and Coastal was by FAR the best. Wayne & Cass, and everyone in class are so welcoming and motivating, from day one I felt comfortable and I really appreciate the sense of community here.
Wayne is a fantastic teacher, he is really down to earth and promotes a culture that is collaborative and fun for everyone training, at all levels. I am very happy to be a part of the Coastal Union fam.

Coastal Union is a welcoming space for people of all levels to train authentic Muay Thai. Wayne is an experienced trainer who provides individualized feedback to help you develop your techniques. He is not only a kind and supportive coach, but a friend to all that train there. This place is much more than a business to Wayne & Cass, and I’m lucky to be a part of the Coastal Union family!

Wayne is a superb instructor! I have about 4 years of martial arts training but the last year I’ve been at coastal union have definitely been the best. I have mainly been doing private lessons with Wayne and I can say without a doubt, it’s some of the best 1 on 1 training you can sign up for. When I signed up for private lessons I was a bit nervous as I had not trained in a while but, Wayne was very good at easing me back into it but at the same time pushing me past my limits. Mentally this was very important to me, I had regained and developed a ton of confidence. When training with Wayne it’s not just about training to learn the martial art of Muay Thai but to become a better person overall. I’m excited to start training again and cannot thank Wayne and the coastal fam enough for everything they’ve done.

Wayne is an exceptional trainer who is both knowledgeable and supportive to all skill levels. This in combination with the tight knit family-like atmosphere makes me want to train even harder. Hands down 5 stars all around

Sensei Wayne and the whole crew are the most amazing and positive people. Great atmosphere and great training.
