From the reviews
We went to the kids class on Sunday mornings at 0900 and Aaron was my children’s teacher. My daughter has mild Cerebral Palsy and he was so amazing with her!!
Dez is an excellent instructor for all experience ranges!!! He’s a great teacher, practitioner and representation of BJJ. He’s passionate about helping bjj, his students and athletes. His insight and dedication shines through in everything he touches. It’s a joy to know him as a man and an honor to train with him.
One of the best schools on the east coast. Both the coaches and students will motivate you to be the best athlete you can become, no matter your goals. I would recommend giving this gym a try first if you are just starting out or looking for a new place to train in the area.
I had such a great experience at Place of Peace BJJ, they offer a variety of different classes catering to all work schedules and skill levels. Craig & Dez made my introduction to jiu jitsu a safe and pleasant experience, thank you!
New to muay thai? Start at Place of Peace Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Yoga, MMA Wrestling & Muay Thai HQ
Place of Peace Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Yoga, MMA Wrestling & Muay Thai HQ 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 Place of Peace Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Yoga, MMA Wrestling & Muay Thai HQ
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.
