★★★★★ — Austin, May 2025

This is easily the best fight and training gym I’ve ever been to, not only is it SPOTLESS but the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. When I came in I had no jiu jitsu experience but because they’ve done such a great job of creating a truly peer to peer community I felt supported and encouraged by…

★★★★★ — Mariko, Feb 2021

My son has been in the toddler MMA class at Point of Impact MMA, and I can honestly say it’s worth every penny. With three classes a week, the value is incredible and the confidence boost I’ve seen in him has been huge. The coaches are amazing.

★★★★★ — Gilbert, Nov 2025

Coach Byron is incredibly patient with me and always meets me exactly where I’m at—my skill level, pace, and comfort zone. It makes a huge difference in my progress and how much I enjoy training.

New to muay thai? Start at Point of Impact MMA

Point of Impact MMA 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 Point of Impact MMA

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.
