From the reviews

I've had the pleasure of training at Black List, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The owner, Derrick, is an outstanding instructor who embodies humility and genuinely welcomes practitioners of all belt levels.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – A Life-Changing Experience for Kids! We are so grateful for Blacklist Martial Arts and especially for Coach Brad, who teaches jujutsu with genuine heart and passion. He recently updated the curriculum to better serve the children, and it’s clear that every change was made with their growth in mind.

Blacklist is an awesome place to train and make your home. Derrick and Gabe the two head instructors (both brown belts) with over 10 years of training BJJ, run a dynamic program. Derrick has the best kids program around.

★★★★★ — Brandon, Jul 2012

Stopped here tonight while on a work trip. Did an MMA class and some BJJ rolling after. WOW! Such a great team and great experience! You are doing yourself a disservice not going and training with this team! Alot of knowledge and so welcoming!

Your first muay thai class at Blacklist Martial Arts

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.
