From the reviews
Not much of a reviewer but I gotta say that if your were ever interested in martial arts and are scared to try it out, this would be the place to take the jump. No matter your fitness level, your age, these guys will treat you like family.
A great place to learn and grow at your own pace. The energy is uplifting and just about everyone from the coach to other students will show praise to keep you motivated. Sparring is always great and more experienced people will take it easier to help you understand where your strengths and weaknesses are.
We started my son here during the first week of school. He is in 2nd grade and we have benefited and enjoyed it more than we could have ever imagined. We have noticed a direct correlation to his school behavior improving dramatically.
My son has been training at pinnacle for 2 years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging with kids. They’ve helped my son build confidence, discipline, and focus while having fun at the same time.
New to muay thai? Start at Pinnacle Martial Arts Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & MMA San Antonio
Pinnacle Martial Arts Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & MMA San Antonio 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 Pinnacle Martial Arts Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & MMA San Antonio
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.
