From the reviews

Started my jiujitsu journey at Fight Factory about 2 years ago after watching my husband have a lot of fun doing it. I was nervous to join, and had never really had an interest in something so physical before, but as I’ve come to learn the hardest part is walking through those doors.

★★★★★ — Magan, Dec 2024

If you are looking for self defense or jiu-jitsu classes, look no farther. Scott is an excellent teacher. I walked in nervous and not knowing what to expect, and walked out with confidence, knowledge and gratitude. Fight Factory will not disappoint. Message him today 😃

★★★★★ — Jamie, Oct 2025

Highly recommend!! Scott is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. He worked one on one with my 9 year old son. Very patient, professional, kind and fun!! We can’t wait to go back. Son did kickboxing and ju jitsu.

★★★★★ — Mike, Oct 2024

Scott is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. Great culture in both Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai classes. You’d expect this type of quality in a big city but Salisbury got lucky. You can’t go wrong here.

New to muay thai? Start at Fight Factory

Fight Factory 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 Fight Factory

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.
