From the reviews

As a mom a feel very comfortable in this environment, he explains everything before you try and if you try and it just not for you, you won't feel pressured to participate, specially with the kids he lets them take their time to warm up to the group classes.

★★★★★ — Mariel, Feb 2017

Family friendly environment. The instructor is very well educated and rounded in the arts. With every class a great amount is learned and taught. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.

★★★★★ — Joshua, Feb 2017

My son has been enrolled in the after school care program for 1 year now and it has made such a positive difference in his life. He has learned about his strengths and weaknesses and how to work harder to achieve more in class and in life.

Your first muay thai class at Ares BJJ Plant City

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.
