From the reviews

Not sure if this guy is talking about the same school. Children’s classes were pushed back to later time to be more accommodating. A letter was sent home to parents and Coach Pat told the kids about time change few weeks leading up to the date. Uniform could be purchased through school or online.

★★★★★ — Andrew, Dec 2023

I only went once a week for about 5 month but it is a very good school. Real BJJ with a good instructor, pretty tough classes. I would highly recommend.

★★★★★ — David, Jul 2019

My 6 year old son started BJJ with Pat over the summer and I joined a month later. For my 6 year old, Pat keep things interesting at the gym, always teaching new techniques each week, his teaching instructions are clear and simple for a 6 year old to follow.

★★★★★ — D, Oct 2019

Fantastic school. I’ve never done any martial arts and was uneasy about starting now in my 40s. These guys have made it easy to transition into the sport. I like that unlike the majority of other martial arts schools they have multiple black belts at any given time and many of these guys here compete frequently.

New to muay thai? Start at Combate Mixed Martial Arts

Combate Mixed Martial Arts 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 Combate Mixed 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
