From the reviews
I am making a cross post review for the Crazy 88 Severna Park & Elkridge locations. I joined the Severna Park location in approximately July of 2024 in the Muay Thai training track. Initially, I joined to train in Muay Thai as an alternative to attending a traditional fitness gym.
BJJ is a way of life for our three kids, which is why we were apprehensive to move to a new area and begin the search for a new training facility. We went to every school in the area on our search for the right fit.
Master Ives and his awesome team of instructors are the best you'll find for martial arts anywhere, especially for children. My two younger siblings (now 8 and 10) started with Ivey League as beginner white belts a little over two years ago and It's truly been life changing for both of them.
Ivey League MMA is a fantastic facility with top notch coaching and training partners. If you’re in the Annapolis area and looking for a place to train MMA, or simply want to get a good work out in, definitely stop by Ivey League!
New to muay thai? Start at Crazy 88 Mixed Martial Arts
Crazy 88 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 Crazy 88 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.
