From the reviews
I came here 4 years ago and the owners made me feel welcomed from day 1. This gym will give you what ever you want out of it. If you want to learn some skills, get in shape, and be in a safe controlled environment this is the place.
The training at Hudson Combat Academy is focused on fighting well. Though catered for the individual needs of the students, the techniques are not compromized. I attended a competition in Tiverton, RI. The atmosphere was very positive. Training the body trains the mind. Go HCA.
It is not everywhere that you can have the opportunity to train with a Soviet style boxing coach, a Sambo sports master and a UFC fighter. Simply an amazing training experience with coaches that will actually teach you instead of just taking your money and handling you a belt.
Awesome gym, definitely a hidden gem. Coach Sasha brings a wealth of combat knoweldge and experience that's invaluable to learn from. Favorite thing about this gym is Sasha's level of personal attention and detail he gives to members and how he will educate, correct, and refine improper technique or mistakes he spots…
New to muay thai? Start at Hudson Combat Academy
Hudson Combat Academy 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 Hudson Combat 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.
