From the reviews
Dubuque Martial Arts Group (DMAG) is one of the best training facilities in the Midwest for martial arts. I applaud the head coach, Dean Lessei, for his knowledge in Muay Thai as well as Kali and grappling. I have been training in martial arts for 20+ years and learn something new everyday I train.
A hidden gem! My sons have been training at DMAG for several years. Few people know we have a world class professional Muay Thai fighter, Luke Lessei, right here in Dubuque. He is trained by his father, Dean, who has been running this gym for decades.
I recently visited this gym and wish I could give six stars!! Great coaches, great students, hope to come back again!

Your first muay thai class at Dubuque Martial Arts Group
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.
