From the reviews
Coach Maher is very knowledgeable and patient. I've checked out a few other places and noticed right away how he cares about technique and making sure you are doing the moves correctly. He wants you to learn and grow. It's a super friendly and encouraging environment.
Coach MA is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He’s certainly like a real life ninja! Extremely skilled and patient, able to work with all levels of experience. He’s the best coach that we have ever worked with. We won’t train anywhere else.
I stared here 6-months ago doing boxing, kickboxing, and jujitsu. The love, support, training, and camaraderie at this gym is like no other. Coach Maher and my training partners are the best. I've already won 1st place twice at two different jujitsu tournaments and won my first kickboxing match.
This is a fantastic facility that truly caters to all ages. Whether you are advanced or just a beginner, they will tailor the program to best fit your skill set.
New to muay thai? Start at Prevail Combat Sports: Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai & MMA
Prevail Combat Sports: Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai & 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 Prevail Combat Sports: Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai & 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.
