From the reviews

Such a fantastic place. Professor Romero is welcoming, patient, and a great teacher no matter what your skill level. I went in for cardio kickboxing as an absolute beginner and am now fit and strong thanks to the Lab.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Apr 2017

Great place to train. Started in my late twenties and have been greatly supported by both Professor Robert and Professor Mario. It is definitely a place where if you are struggle with a technique Professor and the other coaches will work with you until you learn it. Very safe and respectful environment.

★★★★★ — Wolf, Nov 2022

This is an excellent place for childcare, jiu jitsu instruction, and exercise classes. It's far and away the most professional after-school and summer care program in town. I know my children are not only safe there, but are learning and having a good time to boot.

★★★★★ — Candace, Apr 2019

Great place for adults to train. Professional facility with a great staff and students. I procrastinated on joining because of “time and money.” For the quality of instruction and professional facility it’s really a bargain. I have found the class schedule to be accommodating as well. Other students are very welcoming.

New to muay thai? Start at GRACIE BARRA Los Alamos Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

GRACIE BARRA Los Alamos Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 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 GRACIE BARRA Los Alamos Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

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.
