About Talon Muay Thai

Talon Muay Thai is a Muay Thai academy in the Riverpoint Complex in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, running adult (14+) training, foundations, women's and sparring classes plus a Wednesday youth class for ages 7 and up and an invite-only fight team. It is a recognised World Thai Boxing Association (WTBA) affiliate and teaches material originating from Grand Master Surachai "Ajarn Chai" Sirisute, who brought Thai boxing to the United States in 1968. The gym was founded by Kru Rhonda Rae Kness, a former educator and group-fitness instructor who has studied under Ajarn Chai for over a decade.
