From the reviews
I cannot recommend this gym enough. In my first three months I went from 240 pounds to 205 pounds. Training Martial Arts has given me a confidence that I never had before. Stick with the classes and you will surprise yourself.
A wonderful family environment! From kids martial arts to adult kickboxing, boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Krav Maga. The 6 week challenge is such a life changing work out. I would recommend this to anyone!
I’ve been a student here for 7 years- Great gym to learn a wide array of martial arts. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. The owner Joe has real professional fighting experience and a wealth of knowledge. Perfect for those just getting started as well as those that have years of experience.
The instructors are extremely patient and communicative. Tony and Nick work extremely well with people of all backgrounds/body types/experience levels, and connect with the students extremely well.
New to muay thai? Start at Commando Krav Maga and Diamond Mixed Martial Arts
Commando Krav Maga and Diamond Mixed Martial Arts 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 Commando Krav Maga and Diamond 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.
