From the reviews
I trained in jiu-jitsu gyms on the west coast as well as in Morgantown. This is the best gym I have trained at by far. I have never seen a black belt instructor as engaged during class and willing to answer student questions as much as Clint. The community is also very friendly.
Been going here for a little over a month and I’ve had the best time training here. Eli the owner/coach is super and will actually help you through stuff instead of just pushing your through it. I highly recommend training here everyone is so nice and won’t try to kill you on your first night.
Great experience, knowledgeable coaches, and good atmosphere. I dropped in with my brother and friend, we learned some useful tips and practical application for JiuJitsu, while also getting some great rolls in. 🤜🤛
Both adult and kids classes are great. Everyone is professional and knowledgable. Dont be afraid to come in and give this gym a try. There are people of all skill levels and they're all treated with respect!
New to muay thai? Start at Ground Zero Fighting Systems
Ground Zero Fighting Systems 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 Ground Zero Fighting Systems
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.
