From the reviews

Extreme Martial Arts has been an absolute game-changer for our family. After dealing with some very discouraging experiences at a previous Muay Thai gym, one of my sons had completely quit martial arts and wanted nothing to do with it anymore.

★★★★★ — E, Jan 2026

My son has been going to extreme martial arts for a little over a year and he absolutely loves it. All of the instructors are amazing with the kids, and I'm pleased with how patient and kind they all are. They absolutely practice what they preach in terms of character traits.

★★★★★ — Melody, Nov 2022

My kids have a ton of energy, I mean which kid doesn't? We wanted to place them in a program not only burn off that energy, but to build their confidence, instill discipline, and build comradery. Extreme Martial Arts does all that and much more.

★★★★★ — Priscilla, Mar 2024

EMA is world class! The instructors can take you to your full potential in several disciplines! They’re great with my kids and give an amazing workout for me! Bring your family, you’ll love it!

Your first muay thai class at Extreme 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.
