From the reviews
My five year old son has just started attending. Upon introduction to Heather and Blake I immediately felt and knew positive energy. I would love to take classes myself. This gym and the programs are definitely from love, heart, passion and desire to teach. I am very grateful for the owners.
This place is amazing! I took a self defense seminar and I left feeling strong and capable. Heather and Codie are incredibly patient and competent instructors and will teach you skills that can be utilized by any fitness level. If you are on the fence about taking a class, I’m telling you to stop waiting and go.
I've been training with Codie Braegger for six months now and there hasn't been a day in his class that I haven't learned something new. He doesn't just teach the how, he teaches the why and the when (or, equally as important, the when NOT).
First today is the first time being under 200 pounds in years I was 235 when I started at Defiance a year ago. Defiance has amazing coach's and amazing ppl who train there they really are like family at Defiance.
New to muay thai? Start at Defiance Combat Center
Defiance Combat Center comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Defiance Combat Center
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.
