From the reviews

My kids absolutely love attending Gracie Barra. The classes are very straightforward and instructional. This has taught them how to successfully defend themselves while also having a good time. I highly recommend for all ages

Top notch! Both my son and I are members. He loves it, kids program is great. Gym is well run and clean. Coaching is fantastic. Everyone (staff and other members) is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

★★★★★ — Jared, Nov 2023

Very welcoming and friendly staff. The coaches are excellent. My kiddo is having fun learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I love the Muay Thai classes. Overall great professionals and good atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Josi, Oct 2023

I've known Jack Ellis for a decade. He's among the hardest working, all round solid human beings I've been blessed to know. This is us after the grand opening of GB Marysville. Jiujitsu is one of the last remaining activities you can't simulate on a computer.

New to muay thai? Start at Gracie Barra Marysville

Gracie Barra Marysville 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 Gracie Barra Marysville

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.
