From the reviews
This school is really amazing. The amount of respect, kindness, and enthusiasm the instructors show these kids is unmatched. Every child's name is remembered and they are all noticed or praised every class at least once.
CMA is the best martial arts class in CT.Master Jared is a very good instructor and is very friendly with kids. They aren't only teaching the essential skills of martial arts, they are also teaching valuable life lessons, such as respect for one another, discipline, always having a positive attitude, always giving…
Great facility, AMAZING staff, very helpful/thoughtful/encouraging!!! I have gotten into the best shape of my life in only 3 months time. That is saying a lot since I am a physical education teacher and have completed many triathlons in the past.
Love CMA. You'll find me there most nights and both of my kids. Elite instructors, great people, and always a great workout. There is something for everyone at every age. So while I am training, my kids are in class too. Muay Thai, Taekwondo, kick fit, and even sparring.
New to muay thai? Start at Connecticut Martial Arts
Connecticut 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 Connecticut 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.
