From the reviews
I brought my kids here for the kid’s class, but now I have to train just so my kid’s will stop beating me up.
Nice Guys Submission Fighting is a place where you can achieve more than your martial arts goals. It's a place where you can build confidence and comradery that helps outside the gym in your everyday life. Come in with an open mind, willingness to learn, good communication and you'll get out of it what you put into.
I started training at Nice Guys a little over a year ago. In my year of training here I can say this is THE place to train any combat sports (jiu jitsu gi and no gi, kickboxing, wrestling, and mma) in the Evansville/ Tri-state area.
I love cross-training here! The knowledge, intensity and community is great. Beginner or competitor, I think you will find Nice Guy a good fit! As a female, I have always felt 100% welcomed and respected.. which is sometimes hard to find. I’ve trained at a lot of different gyms and Nice Guy always feels like home.
New to muay thai? Start at Nice Guys Submission Fighting
Nice Guys Submission Fighting 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 Nice Guys Submission Fighting
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.
