From the reviews

The newest jiu jitsu school in the area is nothing but top notch. I am constantly traveling for work and always look for places to train where ever work takes me. Well on my recent trip to Anniston, AL I found this school.

★★★★★ — Matthew, Mar 2015

The instructor helped me figure out different ways to set in moves and positions i only got one arm and he is great at what he does and has very high patience if you want to learn how to fight or work out this is the place, would give it 10 stars if possible

Great atmosphere, everyone is supportive no matter if you are lifting weights or training in jiu jitsu or boxing. I highly recommend River as a personal trainer. Lance, John, and Simon are phenomenal jiu jitsu instructers.

Your first muay thai class at Gracie Barra Anniston / Evolution Strength & Conditioning

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.
