From the reviews
I came to Ring Demon because I wanted to learn martial arts for self-defense and build confidence. What I got from Ring Demon was more than I could imagine. Other schools will tell you what to think and which moves to do. However, Coach Eric's approach to martial arts is different—it is philosophical.
Ring Demon is a great place to train at. Coach Eric is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If you are looking for a place to train this is the place. Thank you for allowing me to train with y’all. I’ve trained at multiple spots and this is in my top 3 favorites!
Ring Demon is an excellent gym for training, welcoming everyone from beginners to pros. The gym is inclusive and supportive. Coach Eric emphasizes technique, and his approach to mixed martial arts clearly demonstrates his expertise.
Ring Demon is an awesome place to train. There is tons of room and everyone is welcoming to new people. Eric is a super legit person to learn from and he is a genuinely good guy. This is an academy that puts a massive emphasis on technique. No detail goes overlooked!
New to muay thai? Start at Ring Demon MMA
Ring Demon MMA 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 Ring Demon MMA
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.
