From the reviews
We (my daughter in BJJ and I myself have done both Muy Thai and BJJ) have been with CAA for about 4 years, with some seasonal breaks in between summer... and just life happening.
I took one trial class, their Monday 6:00 AM BJJ class, and signed up for a membership immediately. Didn't even bother with their 30-day trial. Finding the right BJJ or Muay Thai school can be tricky because so many place nowadays are red-pilled and enveloped in the manosphere. Combat Arts Academy is nothing like that.
Combat Arts Academy is hands down one of the best Muay Thai gyms around. The environment is super welcoming and supportive no matter your experience level. Whether you’re a total beginner or advanced, you’ll feel right at home here.
Martial arts gym with plenty of space, full ring and weight room. Friendly and professional staff and competition level training for Mauy Thai, BJJ and Strenght and Conditioning
New to muay thai? Start at Combat Arts Academy
Combat 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 Combat 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.
