From the reviews
The dojo here the team the leadership are really great. With a variety of young men and women who are having fun but also learning some valuable lessons concerning discipline and skill. I had a such enjoyable time seeing one of my young men receive his black belt.
Where do I start. Master Joaquin runs, in my opinion, a world class training facility. He is strict, yet understanding. He encourages and pushes his students to reach their maximum potential. He has the respect of his students and parents.
Back in January 2022 I searched around Central and Southern Atlanta, to find a mixed martial arts school. Out of all of the schools I looked into Oh Do Kwan MMA is the most authentic! This school is unmatched to all in this area, from price range, to drilling, sparring, and a friendly environment!
We highly recommend Oh Do Kwan Striking Academy for anyone looking to learn martial arts. Our two boys started at 5 years old. The instructors are incredibly patient and knowledgeable (Joaquin, Bryce, and Brandon).
New to muay thai? Start at Fayetteville Muay Thai & Kickboxing - Oh Do Kwan Striking Academy
Fayetteville Muay Thai & Kickboxing - Oh Do Kwan Striking Academy 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 Fayetteville Muay Thai & Kickboxing - Oh Do Kwan Striking Academy
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.
