From the reviews

Taking jiu-jitsu has been a fantastic experience! I've been going twice a week for almost ten months now, and I look forward to it every week! I'd never done anything more athletic than dance and gymnastics as a kid, so this was a big leap for me as I'm now a 35 year old mother of two with absolutely no background in…

★★★★★ — Katie, May 2024

A fantastic place to train. They offer a large variety of different martial arts to suit your need. Alan Baker has been training martial arts pretty much his whole life and has a wealth of knowledge and experience to pass on to you. All of AMAC’s coaches/staff are super friendly and knowledgeable as well.

Your first muay thai class at Atlanta Martial Arts Center

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.
