From the reviews
Love training at this gym, it's the best cardio workout you can get and no matter how good you get you can always squeeze more out of it. The muay thai and jiu jitsu sparring is a blast and can range anywhere between relaxed/experimental and an intense test of your mental and physical limits, depending on what your…
Just joined this gym, and I love the classes! Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu back to back will challenge you physically and mentally in the best way possible. I leave class with big dopamine and adrenaline rushes every time! Troy is a great teacher and focuses on "street" rather than sports jiu-jitsu.
Amazing environment all training partners are super helpful & great . Coach Troy will welcome anyone willing to learn & he is a great coach, thanks to him I’ve learn a lot about myself I recommend anyone goes & trains to better yourself in self defense or fitness.
I love machine MMA!!! So fun and educational. It really doesn’t get any better than Coach Troy!
New to muay thai? Start at Machine Mixed Martial Arts
Machine Mixed 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 Machine Mixed 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.
