★★★★★ — Larry, Dec 2023

Awesome gym to learn jiu-jitsu , definitely would recommend giving this gym a shot. Super friendly coaches and great people you’d get to train with!

★★★★★ — Brandon, Apr 2024

The coaches not only have an impact in your martial arts journey, but as well as in your personal life. The kids program are straight killers, way more technical than the adults. They as well leveled me up in my striking and jiu jitsu significantly in just the span of 3 months.

★★★★★ — Dominic, Mar 2024

Your first muay thai class at Community Self Defense

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.
