From the reviews
I have been training here for over 4 years and I can honestly say this school is unique. It allows more sparring time than other schools. Moreover, the instructors are world class. The best part is that my fellow teammates support each other by sharing techniques with each other.
Great place very friendly people. Coach Mando is one of the most humble and welcoming people I have ever met. I strongly recommend this place for anyone who's looking to get into mixed Martial arts or just the physical exercise part of it. 👍👍
I spent a few months in the area fall of 2019 and returned for a visit this week. From the moment I walked in I was accepted as one of their own. Every time I visit there has been top notch jiu-jitsu instruction in a family-friendly gym. The gym’s cleanliness is unmatched.

New to muay thai? Start at Hacienda MMA Training Center
Hacienda MMA Training Center 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 Hacienda MMA Training Center
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.
