From the reviews
I took my kids here for over 10 years. It's a second home. My son wanted to try a different sport, so we signed him up for summer camp, and the rest is history. When issues come up over the years, the staff and owners address them professionally and are very supportive.
My son has been attending Martial Arts University for over 3 years now, and the change in his confidence is incredible. The instructors are phenomenal—they strike a perfect balance between being fun and maintaining firm discipline.
They are amazing!! This facility truly cares and puts forth such wonderful effort with the kids. My son loves it. He’s grown so much by going here for the MMA classes. Jeff and Leela are amazing and all the instructors are so great with them. Highly recommend!! 10/10
My son has been here for a little more than 6 months now and I couldn’t be happier with everything. The staff, coaches, and instructors go out of their way to make him feel welcome and apart of something bigger. Their focus is more than just teaching him how to fight.
New to muay thai? Start at Martial Arts University
Martial Arts University 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 University
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.
