From the reviews
I am 52 years old and yesterday was my very first day at Next Generation. My very first class was the Intro to Jiu Jitsu. Over all a very positive experience. The instructors: great! The more advanced and experienced students: great guys and gals and very friendly and helpful.
I am a father and someone who is trying to get healthier, Been going here for several times a week for a bit under a month now so I feel I can make a really fair rating. Without a doubt this place is a 10/5.
I have been training with Chris Brennan since he moved to Texas. He cares about the growth of his students and you can tell if you train at NG. He is a technical teacher who does not leave anything out. He will adapt a move depending of body so his student can be successful.
Professional, knowledgeable & friendly instructors. The kids program is terrific for all levels and they offer lots of classes to fit into any schedule. My kid has been taking classes here for over a year and our experience has been extremely positive. He has gained strength and confidence.
New to muay thai? Start at Next Generation MMA
Next Generation MMA 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 Next Generation MMA
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.
