From the reviews

Next level martial arts is not just for young kids. My 17 year old takes Muay Thai classes and he LOVES going here 3 times a week. It says a lot about the instructors to get a teenager to look forward to all the classes. He is not only shown how to succeed on the mat, but off the mat as well.

★★★★★ — June, Aug 2023

My son started almost a year ago at next level (age 5). Right from the start we felt this class was going to be great for our son. The owner is very involved and professional. All the coaches have been great. They have a lot of patience and you can tell they really do enjoy teaching their young minds.

★★★★★ — Courtney, Oct 2022

My 4 year old son is a new addition to Next Levels little ninjas class, and since joining, it has been such a positive experience for not only my son but myself as well. The environment is so positive, encouraging, and supportive. The coaches really care about each child individually and there are so many children.

★★★★★ — Autumn, Aug 2025

I've been taking classes here for 6 months and I absolutely love it! I continue to learn something every week, they help me keep up with my personal fitness goals, and I feel like I'm really involved in challenges that help me to feel more confident and personally successful.

Your first muay thai class at Next Level 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.
