From the reviews

Fat Cat Bjj has been a phenomenal place to train in the martial arts. Sensei Vetro and the instructors are very experienced and take the time teach you the intricacies of the arts. In addition, they’re practical, and let students know what it’s takes to improve.

★★★★★ — Robert, May 2024

I am currently a white belt and joined Fat Cat about 3 months ago. I work full time and go to school online. I also workout but I wanted to do some sort of functional strength activity. A great buddy of mine at work who is a blue belt told me to join. The first day was awesome, and is Free.

Your first muay thai class at Fat Cat Jiu Jitsu

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.
