From the reviews
We went to the free homeschool class and instantly knew we needed to attend the homeschool Jijitsu class with Coach Marie. I'm an early retied teacher of 21 years here, and I choose my programs with great care. Coach Marie does an amazing job working with the kids. Her approach is, firm, fun, and forgiving.
We love Dino! Our kiddos have been training almost a year now. We absolutely love Coach Marie, Coach Tim, Coach Sam and Professor Rafa, who are beyound AMAZING! Dino is our second home as our kids train in a few classes (comp class, kids class, and adult class).
My two girls take kickboxing with Joao, and they absolutely love it! I also take both kickboxing and Jujitsu, and it’s been such a great experience. The coaches are fantastic — they really know their stuff and make every class fun and motivating.
Dino jujitsu is a great place! We started coming for the free homeschool class and then I started the free women’s class. After a few months we joined and have been hooked ever since. The coaches are wonderful, the atmosphere and the people at Dino make it a very welcoming place. We would highly recommend for anyone!
New to muay thai? Start at Dino Jiu Jitsu
Dino Jiu Jitsu 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 Dino Jiu Jitsu
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.
