From the reviews
Our experience here was great. My son started kids kickboxing at 12 years old and it was a supportive environment. Perfect for a beginner and I’m sure it would’ve been just as good at the higher levels. He gained so much confidence from these classes.
So excited to be a member at Allied. Such a good location with a great facility, killer programs, and amazing coaches! Welcoming to everyone, from beginning level to advanced for both kids and adults.
Wow where do I even start with the love I have for this gym. I have been a fighter under Sam and Aarons tutelage for a long time now. They are AMAZING coaches and run a tight ship. Allied fosters amazing community and a place to grow to be the best athlete you can be as well as a person. Training humbles you.
I popped by to confirm day and time for my first free class today. I spoke with the owner, Aaron (I hope I have his correct name and if not I'm sorry 😐). He was very friendly, courteous, and explained in detail what the membership includes, expectations regarding classes, dress code, types of gear to wear for…
New to muay thai? Start at Allied MMA
Allied MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Allied MMA
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.
