Most kickboxing and especially "Muay Thai" classes in the US are just cardio kickboxing classes with a new label slapped on. I don't know the training scene in Houston very well so you're just gonna have to shop around.

If you can afford to take time off I would advise you to go to Thailand for a few months. Even the most touristy gym you can find there is more hard-core than anything you can find in the US

Doesn't seem like a bad idea. Find out where successful fighters are training, which schools are producing good fighters, and try to join those places.

Just normal box at a club gym. Look for a dirty place, real fight gyms don't make any money. I can almost guarantee the coach will know and be able to teach you kicks, or you could meet someone who could teach you.

I used to work there, the entire thing was a total grift. They told us straight up how we were supposed to lie to people, everything we said was off of a huge 40 page script, every class came out of a binder and was designed to eat up time without actually teaching as much as possible

To be fair you should either look for gyms that teach Muay Thai or Savate. Many gyms that present themselves as "kick boxing" are BS so you need to be careful with those. If you found a gym that claims to have made professional fighters, double check that it's not BS, and if it isn't BS then just go there.

I have trained in both. OP asked for a hardcore training environment. Those very commercialized gyms that make a lot of money have an elite team of some kind. THOSE guys become great fighters. You also have to qualify.
This is not to say those gyms are without merit, but OP here does not want to go to a sanitized sissy gym.

Consider it this way
I happened to live close to a gym that was well known at the time
It's irrelevant now but it was big around 2005, had pros coming out of it

But me being a lowly neighborhood kid didnt get the good training
If you were a pro you got pro training, if you were a normal fag you got basic shit training. So if your goal was to go to the gym in hope of leveling up you better already be good or they wouldnt take you seriously

That's probably why they puttered out in the end since home grown talent is what keeps you relevant

from what i understand, a lot of "muay thai" gyms in america basically teach dutch kb, but that's a far cry from the cardio variety. savate seems cool but how common is it over there? muay thai does seem like the next best thing to train in for OP. it's basically a type of kickboxing anyway. it's either that or taekwondo or kyokushin (if OP can find a place to learn it).

Most US MT gyms teach all techniques of kickboxing, Thai style, Dutch/European style, doesn't matter, since in competitions out side of Thailand the pace is usually to high for pure MT anyways(because the live betting in Thailand means fighters who want to get fights need to slow it down and put on a good show)

what reddit spacing? i don't see any unnecessary spaces, and if there were that's bc of my autocorrect (i'm a phoneposter). your point is dumb so i refuted it w/ ease, as anyone could. i'm far from a redditor so you're barking up the wrong tree.

there are some decent subs that are better than their 4chan equivalent, like r/martialarts for example (most ppl there actually train, from what i remember).

only reason i don't post there is bc i hate everything else about the site, like the upvotes, awards, reply chains, being able to post shit for upvotes, the long-winded posts that don't say all that much, the stringent policies, etc.

some boards on here even link to relevant subreddits in their wikis. crazy!

remove the reddit boogeyman from your mind and you'll have a much better time on the internet.

also, at no point did i "desperately try to change the subject". you're the one who called me a neckbeard fuck r/aikido user (both strawmen btw), instead of addressing my point, so YOU'RE the one who changed the subject. but to entertain your non-argument of a reply: i don't see what aikido has to do w/ any of this. so far you've given me nothing but internet jargon word salad.

and no, being an edgelord won't make you any cooler. it just makes you look desperate.

once again, i am not a redditor. you're the one who thinks piss poor hygiene is a good indicator of quality instruction in a fight gym (or any gym really), so you're the last person to call anyone retarded. i've never done aikido in my life and i'm not a neckbeard.

if you're so convinced that i missed and dodged your point, why don't you explain to me what it was? let's hear it. every time you dodge my point and smugly accuse me of doing the same, you just make yourself look like more of a hypocrite.

matter fact, how about you stick to the original subject and prove your claim that poor hygiene = good gym? enough pivoting, boy.

I did not use the words "poor hygiene," you did. Probably because you are an unwashed person yourself.
I spelled out my position and opinion in a coherent way, if you still do not get this I cannot communicate with you in an effective enough way to bridge the intellect gap.
Mat Borne illness is something you can, and given enough time, will get even in a normal weight lifting gym. I did not claim anything about hygiene because that applies to people. Dirty = rundown. Fight clubs make almost no money at all, hence the dirty / rundown appearance.
Training in these run down fight clubs consist of moderate intensity sparing and hard conditioning with things like battle ropes.
Training in those big gyms with a shit load of people absolutely still carries the same risks of staph and shit, only way more people - which means more variables. And they have a lot to lose, and a lot to risk. They pulled sparing for 2 weeks because of 2 people who went harder than they were comfortable with. You obviously have not progressed to the same point I have.
I beseech you, I will continue to humiliate you if you do not yield your retarded position and pedantic behavior.

I recently joined a weekly kickboxing class at my local gym, I expected it to be a gay ass cardio class. I was wrong, when sparring with the instructors they would go at your pace, but since it was my first class they shit tested me a little. Took a spinning kick to the liver that almost made me puke, very fun class though. Any tips on how to improve as fast as possible? I got compliments on my hands (5 months of heavy bag work with a coach) but my kicks and overall movement was shite, never sparred before yesterday and felt like a retard. Do you normally punch through guard or do you wait for an opening to present itself? Got a lot of learning to do ig

You generally have to make openings. Whether through forcing a counter, or blasting through. You probably won't be doing the first any time soon, so if it's an option, take some rounds watching the good people. See how they feint. See how they do a move several times as real to see what gets covered, then throw it as a feint to hit where they weren't covering. Pay attention to how different people use their distance. Some guys like to enjoy being tall and sit back. Others will use that same distance to let you think they hit weak, then blast you at mid/close.

Yeah from my experience in america gyms labelled muay thai teach mostly dutch kickboxing along with some elbows and knees, and gyms labelled kickboxing are usually bullshit cardio classes that dont teach jack shit

Any gym labelled as Muay Thai is usually decent, how "hardcore" it is depends on the gym culture, as in a lot of those places they spar rather light most of the time
Boxing gyms are probably the most hardcore, ive heard it said that they dont make champions they just weed out the people who arent champion material by feeding them to the good ones
Overall at least 50% of the "kickboxing" gyms in america are pussy cardio shit but the ones that claim to teach muay thai are usually legit
