From the reviews
I had quite a bit of trepidation with starting BJJ in my 40's. Professor Chad, the Coaches, and everyone who trains here quickly made that go away. I've trained at my own pace with supportive motivation from everyone. The curriculum has been perfect for me and I'm amazed at my growth in a short amount of time.
Right from the get-go, it was super clear that Davidson County BJJ & Section 8 MMA wasn't just another gym. It felt more like we'd walked into a big, welcoming family. My boys have been going here for a while now, and oh boy, the difference in their confidence is just amazing.
As a complete beginner to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far! The instructors are incredibly welcoming, patient, and skilled at breaking down techniques for newcomers like me. The classes are well-structured, blending fundamentals with practical application.
By way of several different reasons, I started searching for a martial arts school for my 2 young daughters. After reaching out to different local facilities, Chad replied back almost immediately and invited the girls to come in and try BJJ.
Your first muay thai class at Davidson County BJJ & Section 8 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.
