★★★★★ — Sherri, Mar 2024

Excellent training academy for MMA - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & kickboxing. The owner - Dave Strasser was in the UFC a few times making him one of the first pro MMA fighters from Kenosha. He fought Georges St Piere & it was very close. Many of the people he’s trained are now pros also.

★★★★★ — Reseñas, Oct 2022

Training at Dave's is the best. I don't train for combat, this is part of my fitness routine and it has greatly improved reflexes, strength, endurance.

Your first muay thai class at Dave Strasser's Freestyle Academy of 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
