From the reviews
Training Camp is filled with GOOD People & Energy! I was in town for the Striking seminar, featuring Coach Henry Hooft, Robbie Lawler & Micheal Chandler. I must say.. THANK YOU to Training Camp for hosting!!! The lay out of the gym is nice, plenty of mat space. There were at least 70 people there for the seminar.
I could not emphasize enough how much I love this gym. Everyone has been so genuinely friendly and welcoming which has been especially important to me as a woman with 0 martial arts experience. The coaches are great, the classes are fun, the gym is huge and very clean.
Held a workout event here this past weekend and had a phenomenal time. Staff was super helpful, communicative, and easy to work with. Shawn was a great coach as well. Will definitely be back 💯
This is the place to be for all your mma training needs. I went for a trial/drop-in just visiting from out of state, and I was definitely more than impressed. I felt like a kid in a candy shop between the plethora of specialized classes with skilled and knowledgeable instructors (wrestling, muay thai, mma, boxing,…
New to muay thai? Start at Nashville MMA Training Camp
Nashville MMA Training Camp 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 Nashville MMA Training Camp
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.
