From the reviews
Love this place. I began training here after my gym shut our bjj program down due to the pandemic. This is a friendly environment with expert instruction and training available for every level in mma, thai boxing, wrestling, and bjj. The whole group is wonderful and it's become my home gym.
I tried their Jiu Jitsu class a while back and let's just say I had a blast. The people at this gym are honest and kind. I liked that if you had a question, they took their time answering it. I will definitely consider coming back. Shout out to Art, he is a fantastic instructor.
Great fight family. Good place for either learning, fun, or fighting. Whatever your goal, they can help
This is an amazing gym and has something for everyone. If you’re just looking for a workout or if you’re looking to be in the big leagues rise has it all! I love the staff and the people here! The head coach Chris really cares and pushes his students to be their best self! I highly highly recommend this gym for MMA
New to muay thai? Start at Rise Combat Sports - Tucson
Rise Combat Sports - Tucson 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 Rise Combat Sports - Tucson
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.
