From the reviews
My son absolutely loves this Jungle Gym! The instructors are incredibly patient, friendly, and supportive. They make every class fun while also teaching discipline and confidence. It’s amazing to see how much he’s grown, both in skill and self-esteem. I’m so grateful for the positive environment they’ve created.
What an experience! As a parent you only want the best for your child. The best decision was enrolling him into the New Rochelle Jungle Gym. Coach Patrick and his staff are very patient, kind and knowledgeable with all the students and parents.
My daughter has had such an amazing experience in this martial arts class. From the very first day, the instructors have been welcoming, patient, and incredibly supportive. They take the time to make sure each child understands the techniques while also building confidence and discipline.
I can’t say enough great things about Jungle Gym! They are truly amazing — and most of all, patient. My 3-year-old daughter goes here, and it was definitely a challenge at first. But the instructors always reassured me that with consistency and patience she would get used to it, and they were right.
New to muay thai? Start at Jungle Gym Martial Arts
Jungle Gym 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 Jungle Gym 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.
