From the reviews
Very impressed with everything about Arsenal: staff, culture, facility, everything. Their kids programs are great and it's the favorite sport my son has tried yet. In the short time we have been there I can see they have a culture of accountability and growth. Kids are taught how to lead their peers in exercises.
My daughter started Muay Thai with Coach Cam and Coach Jaden, and it has been worthwhile, especially if you are looking to introduce your child the right way. They do not just throw the kids in there. They actually ease them into learning so they innerstand what they are doing.
My son has been taking Jiu Jitsu lessons at Arsenal Combat Sports since June 2021. He started with no experience, and he started competing within his first year. He continues to compete, and he brings home medals. I have so many good things to say about the place. 1) Coach Brian is amazing.
We tried out 3 other gyms locally before finding Arsenal Combat Sports Club. A couple of the big differences that we've noticed compared to other gyms is their cleanliness, kid ratio & actual technique being taught.Both of my kids go here & absolutely love it.
New to muay thai? Start at Arsenal Combat Sports Club
Arsenal Combat Sports Club 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 Arsenal Combat Sports 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.
