From the reviews

I had an amazing experience learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here! The coaches are very professional and friendly. They work with you depending on what your goals are from the class - be it self defense, fitness, or just learning the sport.

★★★★★ — Tanya, Jan 2023

I was looking for a class for my son and came here after trying essential down the road and wow what a difference. I appreciate instructors that actually take the time to teach. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and the fact that they offer Ju Jitsu and muay thai is an added bonus.

★★★★★ — Heather, Jan 2025

My husband and I had done a week trial for our sons ages 7 and 4 back in November 2022 and the boys absolutely loved it. Dan was so thorough in explaining everything to us. Tank gave us a tour of the school and answered all of our questions as this was all very new to us.

★★★★★ — Rose, Jun 2023

New to muay thai? Start at East Coast United Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai

East Coast United Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 East Coast United Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai

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.
