From the reviews

Stared 3 weeks ago with by teenage sons. We love it. My oldest is autistic (high functioning), he does the Muay Thai class and fits right in. Me and my 13 yr old do the BJJ class. If we are struggling with something, the more experienced step in to help. I never feel out of place, they make you feel like family.

Love coming here, I try to come every day and classes are amazing, there’s a lot to learn and it’s all at a great pace. Each time I go there’s always a new move, some review, and at the end of the day we got it down. There's always a great vibe and everyone’s really helpful and pushes you to do better.

★★★★★ — Robert, Sep 2017

Your first muay thai class at BRAGA 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.

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.
