From the reviews

Our daughter has been going to Elite Force for a few weeks now and if she could go everyday, she would! She gets so excited and wakes up asking if today is “karate day”. The team is wonderful and Master Mike is amazing with children and very attentive to detail.

My son Mark has been coming here for about 6 weeks, and I can not say enough good things about Elite Force Fort Lauderdale! Facility is clean, staff are all friendly, and they all obviously love children.

★★★★★ — Angela, Aug 2021

I went to sign up my grandkids and ended up signing entire family. It’s been a little over a month and we alll fell in love with it. My family and I never did anything like this before and I’m so happy we tried it at the best place hands down.

★★★★★ — Janella, Oct 2022

Elite Force Martial Arts has had a major impact on mine and my families life! I never even considered doing Martial Arts and had introduced my children to many other activities. Flag football, soccer, tennis, dance, cheerleading; you name it! Once they were brought in by a friend this was the winning sport for them!

Your first muay thai class at Elite Force 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.

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.
