From the reviews
This isnt only a gym. Its an experience that will help you get where youre wanting to go and help you build who you want to be. The level of commitment, technique, and knowledge FLOW MMA brings to their programs and their students is second 2 none.
If you’re looking for a gym and culture that feels like home, this is it! The staff are extremely knowledgeable and do a great job of helping you set and achieve your personal goals. Amazing space for families and fighters to train.
We are so grateful for finding this place! Our 6-year-old son never wanted to join any sports or clubs before, and we honestly tried many things. But the very first time he tried a class at Flow, he had so much fun,and it became the only activity he truly wanted to join. Coach Lindsey is absolutely wonderful with kids.
Flow MMA is a special gym with an incredible coaching staff and unparalleled culture. I have been training with Deric and Lindsay for over 4 years and they have not only made me a better athlete but a better man. Coach Deric cares deeply about every member of his community and their growth on and off the mats.
New to muay thai? Start at Flow MMA Academy
Flow MMA Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Flow MMA 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.
