From the reviews

When picking a gym we wanted one that had a sense of community and after looking at multiple gyms we chose this one for our son. The staff is extremely professional and are role models for children. My son comes here for multiple classes 6 days a week and absolutely loves it here.

★★★★★ — Leah, Oct 2021

I took my son in for his first class in 2018. I watched how his confidence grew and how each coach adapts to the student the are teaching. My son is now 6, LOVES every coach and looks forward to each class. We’ve also enrolled our Daughter into the program when she was 2. She’s now 3 almost 4 and again LOVES her coach.

★★★★★ — Kelley, Sep 2023

We love Mementum Martial Arts! Our entire family takes classes from 3 years old to adult. The toddler Dragon program is amazing and Coach Jessica is great with the kids. Toddlers/preschoolers tumble, jump, run, kick and punch working on balance and strength in a fun encouraging environment.

★★★★★ — Kj, Feb 2020

Momentum is the best gym I know of in Reno, if not Nevada. Momentum is also a great place if you're looking to get fit or if you'd like to compete with Momentum. The staff is very professional with kids and adults. There are classes for almost anyone and runs through Mon-Sat with great Jiu-Jitsu and MMA classes

New to muay thai? Start at Momentum Martial Arts

Momentum Martial Arts 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 Momentum 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.
