From the reviews
I have been doing the martial arts my whole life and was looking for a new gym close to home. I found ECS about two months ago and couldn’t be happier! All the staff are very knowledgeable and able to teach everyone from a beginner to a seasoned martial artist.
Literally wouldn't want to be at another gym. Ever since I joined it was like I immediately had a family, and my bond there is only growing and growing. Gotta say having JKD is super unique, and you can see the influence it has on all the coaches there.
Jared and Michael are amongst the best trainers in the state of Oklahoma. Their skill set, expertise and their ability to coach is unmatched. The prices are extremely affordable for the amount of skill you will gain.
ECS is a great gym to learn either BJJ or striking. The coaches invest much time and effort into teaching and are always happy to help out their students wherever needed. The people here are good teammates who help each other grow, and it is always a good day after rolling on the mat with them.
New to muay thai? Start at ECS Martial Arts
ECS Martial Arts 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 ECS Martial Arts
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.
