From the reviews
I have been training at Pure for 5 years now. As great as it is to be able to say how much this beautiful academy has expanded and grown in this time, it’s amazing to be able to say that the already phenomenal instruction, coaching, and technique has grown along with it.
I have been training BJJ at Pure MMA for three years and love this place. I have made ample friendships that I know will last a lifetime and consider it another home. Owners Andy and Mikey are full of class and make it a welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds.
Pure changed my life. Instructors are extremely professional and welcoming. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, you're treated equally and as a part of the family. It took one Judo class with Kevin to catch the training bug and want to take on different disciplines.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Pure MMA. Andy, Mikey and all the instructors are not only world-class athletes and competitors, but also fantastic educators. Pure is incredibly welcoming and supportive and I’m grateful to be a part of the school.
New to muay thai? Start at Pure Mixed Martial Arts
Pure Mixed Martial Arts 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 Pure Mixed Martial Arts
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.
