From the reviews
I love the vibe I get from this gym . I feel like I'm improving everytime I show up, plus I get a good workout. I learned how to defend myself in certain situations and learned techniques on a competitive level.the people ive met treat me with respect and comradery.
Thank you to ALL of the coaches at AMAG! The youth program is phenomenal and it gave our son the opportunity to enhance his confidence, self-esteem and the courage we knew he had deep down within. The skills and knowledge that he has learned is invaluable!
My son started AMAG Jiu-Jitsu in Waldorf back in August, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. At first, he was a little intimidated by the discipline and structure of the class—but that quickly turned into respect and motivation.
great for fitness, self defense and builds character. awsome coach and welcoming environment
New to muay thai? Start at American Martial Arts Gym
American Martial Arts Gym 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 American Martial Arts Gym
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.
