From the reviews
Just the most absolutely amazing people here. My car broke down on a very hot day right near this location. I had a baby in the vehicle and was panicked about how long I could expect to wait for assistance to arrive. A member of the facility walked outside to meet me to help me push my car to safety.
They got everything. They got an old John Malkovich type, they got a 21 year old Opie purple belt on growth hormones, a Mexican who used to train in orange county, (we got an Italian guy like that) that kid who's momma took Tylenol. Un cuban con bigote.
Love coming here!! This place has helped me grow in something new that I am good at. Both students and coaches are very helpful we work as a team And help each other learn new things. They offer classes for adults And children. This place has changed My perspective on jujitsu as a beginner.
Awesome place! My kids (7 and 4) and I have all been attending Louisville Combat Academy for the last 4 months and love it. We primarily do Jiujitsu but I have also attended the Muay Thai class and it was great as well.
New to muay thai? Start at Louisville Combat Academy
Louisville Combat Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Louisville Combat Academy
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.
