From the reviews

I had a great experience at Integrated Martial Arts! I went for a self defense night with my daughter and other women from my church. The instructors were VERY patient with everyone which was great because there was a very large range of abilities, ages, and body types in one class.

★★★★★ — Jimila, Aug 2025

I have attended classes at Integrated Martial Arts for about 2 1/2 years, first for Kali and then Jeet Kune Do. Sifu Steve is a highly skilled, patient and organized instructor. His well-rounded curriculum provides an excellent workout, comprehensive instruction and a supportive and inclusive community.

★★★★★ — Carol, Oct 2024

Me and my husband had a trial lesson in Jeet Kune Do (JKD) and Kali with Sifu Stephen at Idaho Martial Arts, and I was genuinely impressed with the entire experience.. The class was very welcoming, and Stephen did a great job breaking everything down so even a beginner could follow along while still feeling challenged.

★★★★★ — Petersen, Mar 2026

Training at Integrated Martial Arts with Instructor Stephen has been an incredible experience. From day one, he and the other students made me feel welcome and challenged me to grow.

New to muay thai? Start at Integrated Martial Arts

Integrated Martial Arts 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 Integrated Martial Arts

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.
