From the reviews
From an absolute beginners perspective I loved the place. They made me comfortable learning as a beginner and helped me and my buddy to get oriented with jui jitsu for our first time. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to acquiring a new skill set.
I have been going here for over a year now, it is a great workout, the coaches are great, very helpful and supportive!! if you are thinking about joining, DO IT!!
The coaches and other members are all very knowledgeable and patient. Great place to learn a new skill and better yourself.
I can't say enough about this place but I'll try... The atmosphere is very supportive and the staff, coaches and students are very humble, professional and well mannered. All classes get along and work with each other and is very much Tribe like.
New to muay thai? Start at Octane Martial Arts
Octane Martial Arts 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 Octane 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.
