From the reviews
This is a fantastic gym with an amazing approach with kids. Their instructors are the best, and will take as much time needed to assist with the understanding and development of the moves.
It’s a great gym! Everyone is super respectful and focused. Professor Benn, the lead coach and owner, is really kind, funny, calm, and respectful. He’s always open and willing to help you reach your goals. I take Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and kickboxing.
My 8-year-old son goes to Kaiju Kickboxing and MMA, and we are very happy with this place! The coaches are very kind, patient, and professional. They really care about the kids and help them learn discipline, respect, and confidence. My son is always excited to go to class.
My 9-year-old son has been attending kids’ jiu jitsu classes since February, and the experience has been phenomenal! It’s awesome to see the boost of confidence he’s developed, and I love hearing about what he learns after each class. From the first day, we felt welcomed by everyone.
New to muay thai? Start at Kaiju Kickboxing and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts, BJJ, Muay Thai, and Boxing)
Kaiju Kickboxing and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts, BJJ, Muay Thai, and Boxing) 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 Kaiju Kickboxing and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts, BJJ, Muay Thai, and Boxing)
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.
