From the reviews
Our family has been part of this gym community for nearly 5 years. It has been a phenomenal journey for us. From watching my husband hit the mats, to my kids joining BJJ, me becoming a coach and leading the WOD, my daughter getting her first job there, and now all of us on the mats together!
Phenomenal gym. Everything you could need to get a solid workout. The community is amazing and the class selections are off the chart. Cannot say enough good things about this facility and the family that keeps it running. Huge blessing to the community.
Hands down, the best family gym experience I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, I knew this place was different. The energy, the community, and the coaches all make it a place where my entire family looks forward to showing up.
The Greatest Gym—Like Family! This is hands down the BEST gym I’ve ever been to! It has everything—top-notch jiu-jitsu, wrestling, kickboxing, and a full gym with all the equipment you need. But what really sets it apart is the incredible community.
New to muay thai? Start at Battle Ground Martial Arts Academy
Battle Ground Martial Arts Academy 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 Battle Ground Martial Arts Academy
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.
