★★★★★ — Chris, Jul 2018

I was looking for a place for my 8 year old son to learn Martial Arts. While shopping downtown Conway, we ran across Gravitas MMA. Went in to see if they taught young kids and signed both my 8 year old and 5 year old up for classes. After my sons first class (which he loved) I decided to stay for the kickboxing class.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Nov 2013

I truly can't say enough good things about Gravitas. My 9yr twins and I have been training with them and it is awesome. It's way more than just a workout routine. The owners and staff make us feel as welcome as a second home and everyone is great with the kids.

★★★★★ — Chris, May 2016

I love Gravitas, I train here when I'm in town for the holidays to see my family or for work. Daniel and Jonny are passionate about what they do, and that translates to their students! The gym is personable, so you get the most out of your workouts.

Your first muay thai class at Gravitas Martial Arts

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.
