★★★★★ — Jeffrey, May 2016

Just had a great intro to MMA session last night with Brian. It was excellent! I'm not a newbie by any means, but I definitely need some attention in order for me to understand what to do and to get a good workout.

★★★★★ — Eric, Sep 2017

The school has a laid back vibe with plenty of experienced students ready to share techniques and tips, an openness that comes through the instructor Brian Katz. Brian shares his knowledge and trains with the students regularly. He’s technical and very talented.

★★★★★ — Jay, Sep 2025

Been training here for decades and have driven past so many schools closer to my home just to train at advanced. I promise you, it's worth every mile and every obstacle. Coach Brian has been a sage in my life and has changed my life for the better in so many ways.

Your first muay thai class at Advanced Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
