From the reviews

Very cool gym. Took my daughter to the free class that they offer. She liked it but Jiu Jitsu really isn't a girly sport. She is only 6 years old. Only 2-3 girls and rest were boys although there was 1 girl there exact size of my daughter so it was funny.

★★★★★ — Nathan, Feb 2022

I have trained here since it opened. It is a friendly, clean and professional environment. I am not training to fight, just to keep healthy and functional in my life. You and your family couldn't choose a better place to train for whatever your goals. Todd (my trainer) and his crew are great at what they do.

★★★★★ — Jan, Dec 2014

Mash is an awesome gym no matter where you are on your martial arts journey. I’ve traveled and trained around the country and Mash is among the best gyms I’ve visited. Knowledgeable coaches, clean gym, good competition.

New to muay thai? Start at Mash Gym Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Mash Gym Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 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 Mash Gym Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

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.
