From the reviews
Coach Christian and his talented staff of martial art practitioners demonstrate excellence in each class at Clinch Martial Arts Academy. They have all been encouraging, professional and provided an exceptional education for my son and I.
Coach Dane and Christian are both great instructors, and all the students are friendly and competitive. Great atmosphere and all the instructors are respectful and encouraging and very helpful! Would highly recommend this school for beginners and high level athletes alike.
I went in my with Dad to watch him do one of the Jujitsu classes. I was there just to watch and support him. Great environment. Very friendly. There were a few different male instructors that came up to me and introduced themselves and asked if I needed help or had questions.
I love Clinch! I've been training here for four years and never stopped learning or feeling challenged. Christian Derr is a word class instructor! He teaches and structures his classes to all levels and makes everyone feel welcome.
New to muay thai? Start at Clinch Martial Arts Academy - Owasso
Clinch Martial Arts Academy - Owasso comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Clinch Martial Arts Academy - Owasso
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.
