From the reviews
I have trained and been friends with the Owner Tommy for almost 20 years. I first met him when I was attending college in Charleston at EIU. I then drove to Mattoon and I was amazed at the coach, gym and team that they have there.
Mannnnn, Tommy is the best!! Genuinely some of my best life memories I have, were spent at Precision. I was going there during a challenging time in my life, unbeknownst to my teammates. The blood, sweat and tears I left on those mats built me up in a way that nothing else could have.
This gym is friendly and welcoming while also being incredibly competitive. While I was attending College in Charleston IL, I went here. Tommy and his coaching is world class and he tailors to every students individual needs and helps improve their confidence in what they are learning.
This is an excellent gym. The quality of instruction is first rate. It self selects for outstanding members and teammates. It, most importantly, gives members the tools to grow as people. I cannot recommend it highly enough and only regret not joining sooner. Try a class today.
New to muay thai? Start at Precision Combat Sports
Precision Combat Sports 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 Precision Combat Sports
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.
