From the reviews

Visiting in town from Nashville. Wanted to find a gym to train at. Went to another gym down the road and they had posted a 10am class and no one showed up. Saw this gym on google and rushed over here 10 minutes late and they made me feel welcome. Everyone was really nice and got some great training in.

★★★★★ — Andrew, Aug 2024

I started Jiu-Jitsu classes here a few months back and have had a great experience. The owner and main class coach Andrew is an extremely welcoming and knowledgable person. Andrew is a phenomenal teacher with patience and respect for all levels of the sport. The gym atmosphere is amazing.

★★★★★ — Kyle, Oct 2024

Trained here over Christmas break & I cannot say enough good things! Coach Andrew was incredibly welcoming along with all the members. Their program structure & training is both perfect for beginners AND incredible for fighters.

★★★★★ — Tally, Dec 2025

I dropped into Resurgence while home for winter break. The instructors were super knowledgeable and welcoming and so were the students. I liked the structure and flow of the class as it was a good balance of drilling and live rolls.

New to muay thai? Start at Resurgence MMA Appleton Kickboxing Gracie Jiu Jitsu Kids Martial Arts

Resurgence MMA Appleton Kickboxing Gracie Jiu Jitsu Kids 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 Resurgence MMA Appleton Kickboxing Gracie Jiu Jitsu Kids 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.
