From the reviews
We started coming in February and we have loved how much our 6 year old has grown and improved from having no experience. He's gained confidence and discipline. The community here is unmatched and everyone pushes each other to exceed and excel.
Been here since Jan, Coach is awesome and does a great job teaching people from all different backgrounds and experience levels. My son plays football as well and it has helped him on the field too. Great family atmosphere. When one person competes, so many come to support, even when they aren't competing.
In the 5 months since we joined Rio Combat Jiu Jitsu I have noticed tremendous growth in my kid’s (5 and 6 years old) confidence, skill sets and ability to emotionally process and focus. Coach and his wife teach with strength, standards and a genuine love for their students.
My 3 kids train at Shark Tank (11,7,5) The coach is very attentive and patient , its a very welcoming family environment. The addition of Muy Thai has been amazing for them aswell. RIO COMBAT is one stop shop for families Adult jiujitsu/ Muy Thai/MMA Kids jiujitsu/Muy Thai You won't be disappointed
New to muay thai? Start at Rio Combat Team Utah SHARK TANK
Rio Combat Team Utah SHARK TANK 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 Rio Combat Team Utah SHARK TANK
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.
