From the reviews
I never thought learning a martial art would be so fun and fulfilling. No matter your background or level of skill the coaches here provide a great curriculum that allows you to grow and the other students are just as helpful. It's more like a second family than anything else.
This place has made a huge impact on my life. Between the friends I have made with the other students and coaches and the life lessons learned. I look forward to class every day. I would recommend REAKT to anyone looking to make new friends and get in shape. Recommend for all ages!
I am a middle age mom and was nervous to start taking Jiu-jitsu because I don't have any martial arts background, but wanted to learn some self defense skills. I attend the morning classes and all of the guys have been supportive and welcoming!
This is a great gym to learn very legit self defense. The instructors are all positive, enthusiastic, and patient. They'll help with whatever goals you have. It doesn't matter if you pick up on the techniques fast or slow. It doesn't matter if you're more talkative or less talkative.
New to muay thai? Start at REAKT Fighting Arts & Fitness - Team Renzo Gracie
REAKT Fighting Arts & Fitness - Team Renzo Gracie 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 REAKT Fighting Arts & Fitness - Team Renzo Gracie
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.
