A new kickboxing, muay thai and self-defense class spot has opened its doors in the neighborhood. The fresh addition to Long Beach, called Mission Muay Thai, is located at 903 E. Wardlow Road.

Mission Muay Thai specializes in muay thai and boxing, offering classes for all levels and for teens. According to the business's Facebook page, "Mission Muay Thai is a professional training studio that focuses on teaching fun and safe Thai kickboxing/Western boxing-based curriculums combined with combat sports, self-defense and high-impact fitness."

With a five-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp so far, Mission Muay Thai has been warmly received by patrons.

Miguel F., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Feb. 13, wrote, "This place is amazing. Coach Jace is super knowledgeable and personable so you never feel awkward asking questions."

And Mica S. added, "Coach Jace is an amazing instructor. His Muay Thai knowledge and technique is the best. Learning the authentic art of Muay Thai from a coach with his fighting experience is priceless. He's also the perfect coach for all ages and skill levels."
