From the reviews
This review is long overdue, as I began my journey at Alpha more than ten years ago, and it has been nothing but positive ever since! Alpha Martial Arts and the people there have transformed my life.
We bought a trial karate membership for our 6 year old having no background in martial arts ourselves and wow were we in a for a fabulous surprise! The instructors here are truly incredible.
Alpha martial arts is awesome! My kids started classes here eight years ago, when they were in elementary school, on a whim because their cousins were doing karate and it looked fun. Looking back, this was one of the best life decisions we/they made in taking classes here.
AMA is fantastic! My daughter has been doing karate there for more than 4 years. She started in person before the pandemic, took online classes when AMA pivoted to online, has been back in person for months and is preparing to take her junior black belt test this month.
New to muay thai? Start at Alpha Martial Arts Ravenna-Bryant
Alpha Martial Arts Ravenna-Bryant comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Alpha Martial Arts Ravenna-Bryant
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.
