I cannot say enough good things about this gym! It has excellent instruction from all professors and coaches. It is also an environment where all members support each other. I have trained here for several years and the people in this gym staff and members alike are some of the best people I know!

★★★★★ — John, Jan 2025

Great gym with great instructors and atmosphere. I had some experience in striking already but wanted to expand on my grappling and decided to try ethos, and it’s been amazing.

★★★★★ — Dillan, Mar 2024

My best friend has been going here for BJJ for over two years four times a week. I went to watch and was extremely impressed with the quality of the place. Everyone was very welcoming. The professor(instructor) I met was impressive.

New to muay thai? Start at Ethos Martial Arts

Ethos Martial Arts 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 Ethos 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. 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.
