From the reviews
Great gym, Sam is a fantastic Muay Thai instructor who genuinely cares for his students. JC is extremely knowledgeable and a great instructor, Ellis, Demetrius, and Joey are amazing coaches and always bring great energy! Dima at the front desk is super kind and communicative.
Gritty dojo that has instantly become home. The instructors are attentive and provide laser like feedback. The classmates are welcoming and eager to help out. Don’t be intimidated by the big Russian dude at the front. He’s the goat — super cool, knowledgeable, and sets a dope training soundtrack.
Fantastic place to train. They have excellent instructors and offer classes for all skill levels. You can rent a gi and have a great time while you’re in the city. I will definitely come back if I visit Boston again.
Broadway BJJ is easily one of the best gyms I’ve ever stepped into. The environment is welcoming, the coaches are knowledgeable, and the community feels like family. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, the instructors meet you where you are and push you to grow without ever making you feel out of place.
New to muay thai? Start at Broadway Jiu-Jitsu and Fitness
Broadway Jiu-Jitsu and Fitness 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 Broadway Jiu-Jitsu and Fitness
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.
