From the reviews
I joined the co-ed beginners' program two months ago after watching my son from the sidelines for over 5 years, and I can't believe I didn't join sooner! Yesterday, I attended their annual women's sexual assault prevention seminar, which was packed with what seemed to be primarily first-time students.
This business has had a profound positive impact on my life and my two sons. I’ve been training here for 4 years and the culture is exceptional and every student shares mutual respect for each other. We typically don’t tell life stories while we drill and roll in the classes.
Crossley Gracie gym has been incredible for our family. Both my sons attend, and the coaches have an amazing ability to balance discipline with fun while shaping good character.
Been attending Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for over a year now. It's a lifestyle for me and a journey that I intend to continue for years to come. The instructors are top notch and have provided me with a safe and friendly atmosphere. That alone allows me to stay confident and learn quickly.
New to muay thai? Start at Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu 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 Crosley Gracie 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.
