From the reviews

Dropped in here with a friend and was blown away by the friendly staff and world class training. Mitch is an unbelievable professor and I learned so much in such a short time. Can't wait to come back. This place is the real deal.

I've been training at this gym for many years. I love you instructions I like the structure of the class this is a true fight Academy. Mitch and Vinny are great instructors. this is my home I will never leave.

★★★★★ — Tony, Aug 2016

There is a diverse membership here. The rolls are fun and competitive, and this is the go-to spot for Sunday No-gi open mat in the Orlando community. They CLEAN. I've stayed behind many times after open mat to chat and they clean, clean. Not your quick mop and go, but your mom's early morning weekend deep clean.

★★★★★ — Diane, Aug 2025

This is among the best places to train hands down. I have been fortunate enough to participate in the veterans program that they offer. I immediately fell in love with the practice! Mitch is an awesome coach who creates a safe and instructive atmosphere.

New to muay thai? Start at American Combat Club

American Combat Club 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 American Combat Club

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.
