From the reviews
HUGE Honor for me to train with you tonight. Amazing and Large facilities with all the equipment needed for not just jiu jitsu but mma and fitness. Great Coaches!!! Great training. Thank you all. Osu!
It’s been a little over a year since I started classes at Border martial arts. At first it was a way to get in some exercise and lose some weight, but that turned in to so much more. The community that Coach Moe, Coach Border, Coach Gio, Coach Grant, and Coach Ben created is like no other.
Dropped in as a guest from out of town and needed a place to train Muay Thai. Coach Mo and the Border crew welcomed me with open arms. I've trained at facilities all over the country and around the world and this is one of the nicest and cleanest gyms I've ever seen.
Our 4 year old son has been training at Border Martial Arts Academy for just under 3 months and we’ve loved the experience! He has gained confidence, strength, and always looks forward to class. The coaches are great with kids and make training fun while still teaching discipline. Highly recommend!
New to muay thai? Start at Border Martial Arts Academy
Border 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 Border 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.
