From the reviews
we love harts! my son has been going since he was 4 as a part of the minis program. we have since-then moved somewhat far away (malvern) and pass several other jiu jitsu places on our way to harts, but have never even considered switching - the coaches are incredible, the other parents and kids and a wonderful group.
From the moment my 12-year-old son stepped onto the mats at Hart’s almost 3 years ago, he was welcomed with open arms and a sense of camaraderie that came so naturally.
You can’t ask for a better place to train. Tim, Heather and the rest of the instructors at Harts are extremely knowledgeable, wonderful and caring individuals. I have the utmost respect for them. I look forward to training not just to improve my skills but simply for the atmosphere that they provide.
We signed our 4-year-old up for classes at Hart's Jiu Jitsu, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. The coaches are incredibly patient, positive, and amazing with young kids—it’s clear they care and know how to connect. I also joined the adult basics class and was immediately impressed.
New to muay thai? Start at Hart Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts Academy
Hart Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts Academy 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 Hart Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts Academy
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.
