From the reviews

An amazing martial arts school that really teaches you how to effectively defend yourself while also being offensive. Very affordable and excellent class times for flexibility with your schedule.

My sons and I began studying here about 2 months ago. The environment is great, the instruction excellent, and the system is amazing. Truly a mixed martial art; fully functional self-defense techniques are taught from day one. It is also a great way to workout both at the dojo and practicing at home.

★★★★★ — James, Jun 2016

The H2HCTC is a fantastic community. It's hard to think of this environment as a business because what we do here isn't about the money or the number of students. Its focused on how we live with and use martial arts, specifically this Hand-to-Hand-Combat-Training-System.

★★★★★ — Nathan, Oct 2015

I studied at here for a year, and honestly it was a great time. I was lucky enough to have a small class so I had a lot of one on one instruction with the instructors and learned a lot. I’m 45 and not in the best of shape but I truly enjoyed my time there.

Your first muay thai class at Hand to Hand Combat 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.

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.
