From the reviews

I started my journey at Parker Academy of Martial Arts in early 2000 because of the friendly atmosphere. Still today, it is a positive family atmosphere with great instructors. They have very flexible class schedules with classes seven days per week.

★★★★★ — Chris, Jul 2017

My husband and I were unsure about starting our 4 year old in Karate but we decided to give it a try. From day one all the instructors have worked with our son on his focus and attention as well as learning new skills.

★★★★★ — Amy, Apr 2021

The instructors are very kind and understanding even if you can't get the moves down right away. Their also very descriptive as they not only teach but display the moves themselves. After class I also notice the precautions they take, sanitizing the used paddles, and even the floor mats.

★★★★★ — Eliseisme, Aug 2020

They have recently re-done the look of the entire space with new carpet in the lobby and new paint in all of the rooms. The instructors are friendly and helpful. They have 4 Master Instructors!! and lots of helpers in each class. We were always greeted with a friendly smile.

Your first muay thai class at Parker Academy of 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.
