From the reviews
We put our two boys in the Junior Grapplers and Little Champs programs about a month ago at McMahon, and the entire experience has been nothing short of amazing. Our boys attend three days a week, and the skills they’ve learned in just one month are incredible.
As a parent, I can confidently say that McMahon training center has been an incredible place for my son to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also patient and supportive, creating a positive environment where my son feels encouraged to push himself and grow.
From my very first class, I felt welcomed and genuinely part of the McMahon family. ALL of the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, and encouraging. They meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re stepping on the mats for the first time or preparing for an upcoming fight.
I had been wanting to start training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for years, and finally made the decision to join McMahon about two months ago — I’m so glad I did. From my very first class, I was hooked. The instructors are truly world-class: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in your growth.
New to muay thai? Start at McMahon Training Center
McMahon Training Center 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 McMahon Training Center
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.
