★★★★★ — Justin, Jan 2024

This place is alright, the jui jitsu class looks really good. The muay thai class was okay. Not what I was looking for, i need more physical contact and competitive atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Brandon, Jan 2019

What a great group! Being a female is difficult at times, to find a place where I fit in, and let me tell you I was immediately one of the family. Thank you Dennis for sharing your school with me. I appreciate the awesome techniques and great rolls while preparing for world's! I hope to you see you all again soon! OSS

★★★★★ — Shannon, May 2016

Awesome gym and even better people. Was visiting my dad and stop in for a few session and it was a blast. A big thank you to Tim for providing the space and for coaching such a great team. Until next time Oss!

New to muay thai? Start at Hybrid -- Jiu-Jitsu * judo * Muay Thai

Hybrid -- Jiu-Jitsu * judo * Muay Thai 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 Hybrid -- Jiu-Jitsu * judo * Muay Thai

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.
