From the reviews
Coach John makes everyone feel like they are more than a warm body filling a spot in his curriculum. He goes into detail all the minute stuff, and what I personally like a lot is that he’s not the type of coach that has you do things one specific way.
John at Ga Pro MMA is an awesome trainer and coach. He really works with you personally to develop your style and makes sure to highlight the martial arts styles where you have the most interest. Highly recommend if you are looking to get in shape or level up. Friendly atmosphere too so all levels of skill are welcome.
This is an excellent new gym with a lot of room to grow. I've trained Jiu Jitsu and MMA in Brazil and California, and John is easily one of the best coaches I've found anywhere. If you want to be part of something big, this is the place and now is the time.
John is an excellent Coach and it’s a great friendly environment full of great people for any level of experience. Also great prices considering how expensive the other gyms in this area are.
New to muay thai? Start at Georgia Pro MMA
Georgia Pro MMA 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 Georgia Pro 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.
