From the reviews
My son has been taking classes here for about nine months and it’s been the best experience! Such a welcome community and the coaches are great; knowledgeable and patient, while still having fun. He’s learning all kinds of great life skills, respect for himself and others, perseverance, dealing with setbacks.
I started taking my FIRST ever Muay Thai classes here and I have always felt welcomed and part of the family. By joining, I found a community that I am proud to belong to and look forward to seeing. Not only am I challenged physically but I feel genuinely accepted at what skill level I am able to offer.
Kindred coaches are the best of the best. They make learning bjj fun while also running a tight ship. Students learn life values like respect, honor, hard work, doing your best, doing what’s right, the importance of good hygiene, etc. The coaches are great communicators and know how to talk to kids.
Dropped in while visiting my folks in the area. Kindred is a welcoming, relaxed environment with some tough rolls. As a bigger dude, it was good to get some rolls with some larger + higher belts. I also really enjoyed Coach Harry's class—did some eco/CLA style drills and learned a great detail on an anaconda choke.
New to muay thai? Start at Kindred Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai
Kindred Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai 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 Kindred Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai
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. 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.
