From the reviews

I would like to share my experience with the martial arts academy where my children are taking jiu-jitsu classes. They are absolutely loving it! The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, creating a positive environment that encourages learning and growth.

★★★★★ — Ana, Mar 2025

Great professores and techniques founded in true Brazilian jiu-jitsu roots. I was able to attend both kids and adults class and was very impressed with the methodology and attention to detail. It is always a honor to learn from master Ricardo Liborio, one of the greatest bjj athletes from all times !

★★★★★ — Juliana, Apr 2025

I can honestly say that Martial Arts Nation has helped me in my state of mind. When I first walked through the doors, I was carrying depression, fear, and intense social anxiety. I wasn’t sure if I would fit in or even have the courage to keep showing up.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Feb 2026

I’m so grateful for this martial arts program. Over the past year, my child has grown so much — gaining focus, discipline, and confidence while learning to stay humble and practice true humility. All the coaches are amazing and really care about building character, not just skills.

New to muay thai? Start at Martial Arts Nation Lake Nona BJJ

Martial Arts Nation Lake Nona BJJ 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 Martial Arts Nation Lake Nona BJJ

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.
