From the reviews
Popo Silva has a really great training and positive atmosphere here. Glad I found this place. They teach the theory and real world application of fighting. It’s an honor to learn from someone who’s been battle tested. Respectfully.
Highly Recommend. This place has put me through a real stress test, I am a hobbyist and already seeing massive progress in my skills and fitness. The training is highly practical, functional, with real knowledge, that welcomes all ages and skill levels.
Flow MMA is an amazing gym with top-notch instruction! The boxing, MMA, and jiu-jitsu classes are all excellent—whether you’re a beginner or experienced, the coaches break everything down in a way that’s easy to understand.
Popo’s dedication to his students and combat sports will make anyone who steps into the gym not only learn at an exponential rate, but also grow to be a better version of themselves.
New to muay thai? Start at Flow MMA
Flow MMA 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 Flow MMA
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.
