From the reviews
I started training at Combat Base Flint in October, just before leaving for my next job, and I couldn’t have found a better place. Nick’s Muay Thai/kickboxing classes were intense and technical. He’s a beast when it comes to striking and always made sure I was sharpening my skills.
Love training BJJ here! Great community and fun classes! The coaches challenge you while keeping an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere🤙 I always want to be here! My niece and nephews love the kids classes too!
Combat base offers a great, clean environment && offers classes for all walks of life! Currently enjoying a new women’s only self defense class. 👍
This is a great Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym with beautiful mats and welcoming ownership in Chris. All the instructors that I've met, from Chris and Dave to everyone else, are friendly and knowledgable and care about teaching.
New to muay thai? Start at Combat Base Flint
Combat Base Flint 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 Base Flint
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.
