From the reviews
I was recommended by my friend and strength coach and could not be any happier with Coach Chance. Family friendly and great instruction from a young and very knowledgeable black belt. You are never to old to try something new. I am 50 and feel so welcomed from the first day I stepped into the facility.
Mr Chance is a great asset to not only martial arts, but to the community here locally as well. I signed my 4 year old son up for summer Jujitsu classes and since day one, Mr Chance has been extremely patient with children in his youth group.
Instructor is AMAZING with keeping the kid classes fun but active. Great attitude and passionate about his job and business. He's very patient. Great prices, great experiences every time. Small classes keeps the learning personal. I can't recommend them enough!
I have been taking my 5 year old son to Cajun Combat Martial Arts for the past couple months, and we have had an absolutely fantastic experience. Coach Chance is a true professional and has a way of engaging and teaching the kids that keeps them coming back for more.
New to muay thai? Start at Cajun Combat Martial Arts
Cajun Combat Martial Arts 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 Cajun Combat 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.
