From the reviews

Learning BJJ under coach Markle has been an awesome experience. We have the whole family attending his classes, my young ones love it! They learn while playing. The adult classes are also great, get a good workout while learning to defend your self.

★★★★★ — Javier, Dec 2018

Professor Markle is an amazing coach who believes in one important thing.... attention to detail. Having been under 3 different coaches, I have to say he is the one of the most detail oriented I have had the pleasure of meeting, and his refinement of techniques has led to a definitive rise in my mastery of Jiu Jitsu.

★★★★★ — Lorenzo, Dec 2018

James is a great coach. I've known James for several years now and I am always impressed at his ability to coach to the level of whoever is training. He is great about pushing people when he needs to and being understanding when people aren't always there.

★★★★★ — Chris, May 2017

Professor Markle is an amazing instructor and an amazing dude. He knows his stuff, cares about all the minute details, and he is extremely patient with ALL of his levels of students. I've felt welcome since day one and it is one of several reasons why I keep coming back to train.

Your first muay thai class at FightTX

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.
