From the reviews
I've been training at this gym for several years, and I couldn't have made a better choice. Mac's a winner of The Ultimate Fighter and a UFC pro that's earned Fight of the Night 3 times and Knockout of the Night (check out his Wikipedia page). Black belt in BJJ.
It is very rare to find such a high level coach who is willing to work one on one with all skill levels, take advantage of this opportunity that is being given. Mac is an MMA legend and one of the most knowledgeable coaches in the game.
We're super lucky to have world class instruction here in Bend! Danzig MMA is a great place to train with solid training partners, and Mac and Angela really care about the progression of their students.
I started out at Danzig MMA knowing absolutely nothing about Brazilian jiu jitsu. Mac , Angie and their trusted coaches at Danzig MMA absolutely fostered me from an unknowing, unskilled , white belt. To a competent, competitive blue belt.
New to muay thai? Start at Danzig MMA
Danzig MMA 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 Danzig MMA
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.
