From the reviews

My kids have been going to Jerry since he started. He cares about the kids and does everything with them in mind. My kids love it and they usually don’t enjoy physical sports, but with Jerry and his crew they can’t wait for class every week!

★★★★★ — Sandy, Oct 2021

My son has been attending for almost a year and the growth I've seen in him has been incredible. Not only has he gained a significant boost in confidence, but he's also developed a strong sense of self-discipline. The senseis at this school are patient, understanding, and really know how to work with kids.

★★★★★ — Chellsea, May 2025

My daughter has been participating in martial arts class for 3 months now. She has learned so much and absolutely loves it. She has made some great friends in the process too.

★★★★★ — Della, Jan 2022

Our girls have grown so much with this martial arts program- their confidence level has increased tremendously and I know they will be able to defend themselves if they are ever in a dangerous situation.

Your first muay thai class at Japanese Martial Arts 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.

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.
