I was skeptical about this place but it turned out to be great! You get treated like family great atmosphere. My son had training within 3 months and won his first MMA fight. JC comes from humble beginnings and cares for his students. I highly recommend Llamas Competition. Come by and give it a try.

★★★★★ — Maria, Dec 2018

Great experience everytime. Very positive yet assertive. Every child/adult come out of class with more confidence, discipline, and feeling like a part of something. Definitely recommend to anyone that is willing to learn and have fun at the same time.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Sep 2021

This gym is great! My son does boxing here and enjoys it. I am in the all women’s workout classes and have enjoyed the training! The trainers JC and Nicole are very encouraging and supportive. This gym also has group outings like hiking!

Your first muay thai class at Llamas Competition Team Martial Arts and Fitness

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.
