From the reviews

So far so good. I was drawn to this place initially because it was the only place i found in Jacksonville that offered any kind of silat. Juan is an impressive instructor, i stick around because i respect his training.

★★★★★ — Angry, Jun 2017

I have been training here every Monday-Thursday for the past 4 months and can't think of a single negative criticism. The classes are designed to accommodate people of all backgrounds and experience levels.

★★★★★ — Zane, Nov 2016

I'm and older martial artist, 64 to be exact, that has trained 28 years in multiple disciplines. Combatives Unlimited is one of the few places that I have ever found that teaches a full range of Martial Arts disciplines.

★★★★★ — Stephen, Apr 2019

Juan and other coaches are great. I only got to stay for about 1 year and 2 months, and I've learned so much over just a little time. but dont be lazy. Be consistent and be serious about it. If you wanna compete to just talk to Juan and he will help you out.

New to muay thai? Start at Combatives Unlimited

Combatives Unlimited 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 Combatives Unlimited

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.
