From the reviews

I’m about a month into training in the Muay Thai program, and I couldn’t give this a higher recommendation. Coach Ricco is one of the best ever, and I’ve trained at several martial arts gyms throughout the years. The smaller facility makes for a more personalized experience which is a plus.

★★★★★ — Matt, Apr 2026

I just started training again after three years off. I found the gym through social media and decided to try it. I’ve been here about a month and I’ve really enjoyed it. The gym itself is beautiful and clean. The coach is super nice, very knowledgeable, and works with you no matter your level of fitness.

★★★★★ — M., Apr 2026

Your first muay thai class at Montclair Martial Arts, Montclair, NJ

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.
