★★★★★ — Louie, Nov 2023

I tried different martial arts schools before coming to Guzman Martial Arts, and the difference was huge. At the first place, they mostly expected me to copy the moves without really explaining them, which made it difficult to learn.

★★★★★ — Joselyn, Jun 2026

Thank you to Master Sensei Eli Guzman. Also to all the other staff at Guzman Sport Karate/Kickboxing. My daughter is currently enrolled at the dojo, and she has learned and grown so much being a part of this program. I hope she continues on her journey to become a black belt someday!

★★★★★ — Marcus, Jan 2023

Sensi Guzman has always been an amazing instructor! I use to attend back at the old stomping grounds on mesquite street. It was some of the best years of my life I loved kick boxing and Karate, I took Grand Champion 2 years in a row and carry everything I learned in the dojo with me till this day of self discipline,…

Your first muay thai class at Guzman Championship 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.
