From the reviews

Started with 0 prior knowledge of kickboxing and jiu jitsu. I was nervous, until I realized everyone in the gym cares about bettering themselves and their teammates. I highly doubt you’ll find a more thoughtful and encouraging team anywhere else. 10th planet baby !

★★★★★ — Nathaniel, Oct 2023

Update 6/28/2022: the new location is even better than the last. Huge training areas for: grappling, boxing, strength and conditioning, and even a full size mma cage. Great training partners with different skill levels and skill sets. Same supportive atmosphere and coaching. Easy parking bathrooms, shower.

★★★★★ — Joseph, Jun 2022

Good vibes here! Eric is very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend Mid World Martial Arts if you’re interested in training jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, boxing, wrestling, or mma.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Jun 2020

I’ve been training here for over a year and there is a genuine camaraderie between the people who step on the mats. Everyone is very friendly and not afraid to work with newcomers.

★★★★★ — Ian, May 2025

New to muay thai? Start at Mid World Martial Arts

Mid World Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Mid World 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.

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.
