What members say
“Amazing coaches and a great family environment with a team that truly cares about you.”
“Whether you’re a beginner looking to try it out for the first time or are experienced & looking to get back into it we highly recommend Global!”
“The professors, coaches and teammates are more than just that- everyone quickly becomes family and everyone is dedicated to seeing you succeed whether it’s on or off the mats.”
“Many of the kids here are at a higher skill level (know more techniques & counters, better at securing position and submission) than the BJJ gym we were at (for ~ 4 years).”
“Whether your into competitions or just doing this for fun, it’s a great place to call your home gym.”
“I can not recommend this place enough, even for people who just want to work out and not focus on martial arts.”
From the reviews
Awesome gym. I’ve been attending the adult BJJ classes for about 3 months and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The owners and coaches at this gym are very welcoming to everyone. Professor Doug is great at breaking down every move. The upper belts are cool and willing to help.
I have been coming to this gym for 9 years and there is no other gym I would rather call home! And yes, it really is a home! Once you join, you are family and your team and coaches show up for you, encourage you and prioritize your mental and physical health.
I have been attending GMA for about 6 months now and I’ve loved every second. Jimmy and Hope have been very helpful and they have taught me so much already. I find myself actually excited to come work out and do adult BJJ both morning and night.
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. My boys (3 and 8) look forward to every class and wish they could go every day. It is obvious that the owners and coaches truly care about what they do and about the kids they teach. They are patient and kind but also firm.
New to muay thai? Start at Global Martial Arts
Global Martial Arts 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 Global Martial Arts
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.
