From the reviews
Inner circle bjj what a great training facility and next to none staff and instructors. With my extensive wrestling back ground and after talking with Coach Walt, gym owner and black belt, I knew this was the only place to be and train.
Absolutely love Inner Circle Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. I've been training here for 8 months now and can not say enough great things about this school. Extremely friendly and personable, instructors and students alike. I'm so happy to have found a school I can call home here in Syracuse.
I have been going to Inner Circle for almost a year. They are welcoming and have a great staff. Their Muay Thai and BJJ classes are designed for all levels. Great place to spend your time learning two forms of martial arts!
You will not be disappointed, Walt is an excellent instructor. There are classes practically any time during the day and/or evening for the working individual...No excuses, give it a try!
New to muay thai? Start at Inner Circle Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai
Inner Circle Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and 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 Inner Circle Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and 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.
