From the reviews
Simply the best Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai gym in Michigan for all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re just starting or want to compete at the highest levels, you will find training partners and a community ready to be your second family.
Phenomenal gym. I’ve trained and competed at a lot of different gyms, and you won’t regret joining this one. Month-to-month membership, no contracts, no required uniform. They’re not trying to take advantage of you. The membership structure is very relaxed.
Trained here for a year during the part of my residency in Michigan, top notch training partners and instruction. Dan, Andy, and Jay are all extremely knowledgeable and innovative Jiu Jitsu instructors who care about the sport and the people they train with.
This is not just another jiu jitsu gym, it's a family of martial artists. Always evolving and pushing you to be the best martial artist and person you can be. And you can't beat the schedule. Mornings, noons, and evening classes. Kids, adults, women's classes, AND Muay Thai! Why are you not here yet!
New to muay thai? Start at Commonwealth Jiu Jitsu
Commonwealth Jiu Jitsu 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 Commonwealth Jiu Jitsu
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.
