From the reviews
Professor Greg is a true professional. Coach Andre and Coach Clayton have been immensely helpful in my learning with no martial arts background. It was a relief to arrive with an empty mind and have it safely filled as I get submitted without getting hurt hurt.
My 12-year old son and I visited my brother for the first time since he opened the gym and decided to take a class. First off, the space is very clean, well organized, and in good shape. It's obvious as soon as you walk in that as the owner/operator he wants the best environment for his students.
GB Northville is a fantastic gym to develop your BJJ Skills. The Curriculum is well designed and enables students to become proficient in self defense and compete if they desire. The facilities are very well kept, and always clean.
My husband and I enrolled our young daughters ages 3 & 4 in the Junior Champs program, and admitedly were apprehensive at first… this program has been nothing short of amazing.
New to muay thai? Start at Gracie Barra
Gracie Barra 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
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.
