From the reviews

I started coming to Elite ~18 months ago when my son, then a Junior in high school, asked me to join him for his first BJJ class. One of the first things that struck me was how welcoming the Elite team and its students are...

★★★★★ — Brad, Sep 2024

I joined Elite MMA KKB class two months ago, and it’s been an incredible experience. The environment is welcoming, and the coaching staff is outstanding—professional, motivating, and committed to helping us improve.

★★★★★ — Sumedha, Nov 2024

My daughter has been training at Elite mma - at a variety of their locations - with Coach Cruz. I can’t praise them enough. Extremely grateful for their entire teams dedication and how amazing Coach Cruz is with my daughter and the other kids in their lessons.

★★★★★ — Lance, Dec 2025

New to muay thai? Start at Elite Mixed Martial Arts - Memorial/Spring Valley

Elite Mixed Martial Arts - Memorial/Spring Valley 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 Elite Mixed Martial Arts - Memorial/Spring Valley

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.
