Muay Thai & MMA Gym in Ari, Bangkok

Tiger Eye sits in Ari, one of Bangkok’s most livable neighborhoods. We’re a five-minute walk from BTS Ari, close to Chatuchak Market, and an easy commute to the downtown shopping district. Ari is known for its tree-lined streets, specialty cafes, and a slower pace than the rest of Bangkok. It’s a good place to live, and an even better place to train.

The gym was founded by Bashir Ahmad, a former ONE Championship fighter, ONE Championship executive, and U.S. Army combat medic veteran. We attract a mix of people: serious fighters, travelers passing through, families who live nearby, and professionals who want real training without the “meathead gym” atmosphere.

Training happens in an open-air space surrounded by permaculture gardens. By land size, we’re one of the largest gyms in central Bangkok, and we’re currently expanding to include on-site accommodation for long-term fighters. We also have an on-site cafe serving healthy food, some of it grown right here on the property.

Whether you’re throwing your first punch or you’ve been training for years, this is a place that takes martial arts seriously without taking itself too seriously.
