From the reviews
Master Austin and other instructors are nothing short of amazing. They know how to teach to all levels of ages and abilities. My seven year old son has been taking part in these classes for six months now. I am continually being amazed at how they are able to encourage and effectively motivate all of the students.
My daughter is loving martial arts at Cutting Edge. She has received her uniform and earned her first stripe the same day. She enjoys the games and when she got home her dad was play fighting her and she landed a good solid punch after just 3 classes, he was very impressed.
My son loves taking classes at Cutting Edge. All of the instructors are patient and respectful. My son has learned that hard work and practice pays off. We highly recommend this dojang!
I cannot recommend CEMA enough! I needed immediate self-defense training, and was looking for a place that offered material I could use from my first class onwards. The class is a welcoming, non-judgmental, environment where you can thrive -- regardless of your gender or current fitness level.
New to muay thai? Start at Cutting Edge Martial Arts
Cutting Edge 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 Cutting Edge 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.
