From the reviews
Invictus is amazing. I’ve been coming for almost four years and I’ve enjoyed every second. Not only did I grow as a fighter, it was therapeutic for me. I can say I wouldn’t be the young man I am today without this gym. Very knowledgeable about everything and the opportunity is endless if you decide to fight.
I am giving Invictus 5 stars rating as there team has been nothing but amazing! This gym offers a wide variety of martial art training for beginners to advanced. They also have great scheduling and a welcoming environment.
Invictus has been a game changer for my physical and mental health. The coaches are skilled and genuinely invested, and it's the people and the atmosphere that really make this place special. It’s welcoming, and full of teammates who lift each other up.
Amazing gym!!! I’ve trained all over the southwest and this is one of the top gyms for sure!! My favorite part about this gym is how friendly everyone is and the fact that everyone is willing to roll/spar with you. Great teammates, amazing coaching staff. Overall good community.
New to muay thai? Start at Invictus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai academy
Invictus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai 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 Invictus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai 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.
