From the reviews
Sifu Jho and Sifu Eric are two of the best instructors around. They take the time to make sure students don't just learn forms and techniques, but how to apply what is learned. "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." - Master Lee.
I have been going to 12 Round Kickboxing and Muay Thai at JBMA for a little over 2 years. JBMA is the best martial arts gym I have ever attended. I have been to others and they don't compare. I have learned so much and have gotten so much stronger. I have lost weight and gained muscle.
My kid has classes here. The environment is VERY family friendly, instructors are very knowledgeable, yet down to earth. They take time with kids. Other establishments' instructors teach children the same way as adults, which could get boring for kids, this place has dedicated kids classes and teaches them as kids.
12 rounds kickboxing is amazing. Hate the gym? Come to 12 rounds. Extremely affordable. Great instructors. And I promise the workout will be better than anything you do at the gym!
Your first muay thai class at JBMA Training Grounds
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.
