From the reviews
As an out-of-towner, I had the opportunity to join Renzo Gracie Academy Reno for an open mat session this past weekend (actually, 8 us from our Jiu Jitsu club went). The facility is clean, the layout is great, with plenty of mat space, and the mats were excellent.
Great safe atmosphere to learn world class techniques from world class instructors, meet and bond with great people and grow your self not just physically but also mentally. . Ages range from 4 yrs old to 60+ yrs young. Some of the best people I've ever met in my life where through these doors and on these mats.
My son just started here directly under Professor Max. This gym is super dialed in. Everyone is kind courteous and respectful and most of all welcoming to the new members. My son is a big time competitor and really enjoys the sport a lot.
World class instruction under Professor Max at a friendly, inclusive and welcoming environment. I’ve only had the best experiences at this school :)
New to muay thai? Start at Renzo Gracie Academy Reno
Renzo Gracie Academy Reno 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 Renzo Gracie Academy Reno
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.
