From the reviews
I dropped in for a 6AM No-Gi class while in Des Moines for work. It was great, I was greeted by a few members and the coach right away. The facility is first class with lots a of mat space and private showers. The instruction was great and felt safe with all the members I rolled with.
Joined No Coast almost 2 1/2 years ago. It is amazing place to train and meet wonderful people. Immediately felt welcomed by everyone and felt like part of the team. Love how the schedule is for everyone.
A great place to train Excellent Environment Clean Mats Structured Training My Go to Gym when I'm in Urbandale for work. I've been training for over 17 years and I highly recommend this place for beginners who want to learn the art yet most importantly the lost souls who just want to change their lives and make some…
Love the kids program! We moved to Urbandale, Iowa about three years ago and I began scouting a gym to take my kids to. So glad I found the kids program at No Coast. I tell anyone who will listen, Jordan Peitzman is hands down the best kids instructor in town.
New to muay thai? Start at No Coast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
No Coast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 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 No Coast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
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.
