From the reviews
I can’t say enough about this facility. First, it’s one of the cleanest gyms I’ve been in and I was welcomed with open arms. From the moment you step in the door on day one, everyone is opening and welcoming and genuinely interested in your success.

Signing up to train at Art of War Jiu Jitsu was one of the best decisions of my life. Two years ago when I moved to the area for work I had no community / family with me. Through my time at AOW I have now established that community and built great relationships with my fellow students.
I trained jiujitsu for about a year before joining Art of War and never found a place that truly felt like home, until I came here. I’ve now been a proud student of Art of War Jiujitsu for about two years. Even after taking a year off, coming back felt seamless.
New to muay thai? Start at Art of War Jiu Jitsu
Art of War 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 Art of War 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.
