From the reviews

I have a great time with their jiu jitsu and muay thai classes. Instructors are extremely knowledgeable and encouraging and within a month of taking classes, I am starting to be able to get techniques down and start figuring stuff out on my own.

★★★★★ — Veronica, Jul 2020

This school is an amazing place to learn and train martial arts! I am currently training in jujitsu but plan to come on with Muay Thai full time and train in mind set to compete.

★★★★★ — Drew, Feb 2020

Red Wolf has become one of my favorite places to go to every week. The environment is incredibly welcoming and every person who attends is supportive beyond belief. I feel as if I have found a family within this school.

★★★★★ — Hailey, May 2019

Red Wolf is a great martial arts school. The owners, Jonathan and Elisabethe Allen, are infinitely supportive. The classes are small and welcoming to new students. The people you train with at Red Wolf quickly become family. Its great place - I highly recommend that you come check it out.

New to muay thai? Start at Red Wolf School of Martial Arts

Red Wolf School of Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Red Wolf School of 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.

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.
