From the reviews

Absolutely wonderful!!! Training is professional, customer service is perfect. The studio is so inviting AND everyone who trains here are friendly and welcome you! Omar and Karol are so patient and really take the time to make the students feel comfortable and to make sure they are learning the techniques properly.

★★★★★ — Cj, May 2018

Fantastic place to train and learn JiuJitsu everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They even offer a women’s class if your not comfortable training with a male partner.

★★★★★ — Vivian, Feb 2021

Professor Omar Salum earned my friendship and confidence right after I started coming to his dojo and learning his highly competitive classes. Real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with deep roots into self-discipline and personal growth. I’d give him and his BJJ Gym 100 Stars if I could.

★★★★★ — Cyber, Apr 2022

Gracie Hemet Academy isn't just a Jiu Jitsu academy, it's a culture. Since starting in May I've had the opportunity to train along side some amazing people. Omar Salum as an instructor is patient, knowledgeable and approachable with a great work ethic.

New to muay thai? Start at Gracie Humaita Hemet

Gracie Humaita Hemet 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 Humaita Hemet

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.
