From the reviews
The coaches and staff are professional , They are very friendly with a welcoming environment there. My son is super excited and very proud to be one of the little warriors
Our first time walking in we were greeted with a warm welcome. The staff was very friendly and unintimidating. She explained everything in detail and didn't pressure us all all to join. By the second class our kids names were already memorized among the already large group of 30 kids.
We love the kids classes here! It just the right amount of time and well structured! There are a lot of instructors to help the kids. My son is 5 years old and he loves it. He also takes the boxing class Friday evenings and he loves that, too! The classes keep the kids moving.
I have trained at ABJJ for a year a half and love it. The community has been very welcoming. They have a all women’s class that is very helpful to get to know the girls in the gym and to grow friendships. It’s the best place to work on new moves! I highly recommend this gym!
New to muay thai? Start at Anchorage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Alaska Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Anchorage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Alaska Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 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 Anchorage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Alaska Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
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.
