From the reviews
A VERY SPECIAL PLACE I have grown up competing on the wrestling mat and have spent many years coaching, as well; I have been involved with and observed many many training centers in my time, so I feel I have a good understanding of what successful training looks like..
I have trained at Danville Jiu-Jitsu since its doors opened in early 2012. Though my work requires heavy travel and my family requires my time (I’m a husband and father of three), I manage to train on the weekends I am home. And two of my three children have also trained there.
My kids and I all train here and I can't say enough how awesome the team is here. It's not unusual to have three black belts running the kids classes and the ratio of teacher to student is great.
Danville Jiu-Jitsu is a fantastic place for the entire family to train. My children are in the kids jiu-jitsu program, my wife participates in women's jiu-jitsu and kickboxing and I train here as well.
New to muay thai? Start at Danville Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, and Kickboxing
Danville Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, and Kickboxing 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 Danville Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, and Kickboxing
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.
