From the reviews
An enthusiastic environment with a focus on both self, and group growth. Sam, the main coach, is very knowledgeable and allows the students to work on problem solving their way through the process while implementing his preferred methods and other options alike.
All I can say is Jiu Jitsu changes lives. I joined the Academy around a year and a half ago and my life has changed drastically for the better. My health, confidence, faith, character, and relationships have all changed for the better.
Awesome people, great environment. If you want to learn real skills and live nearby this is the place to go. As a striking coach I can say they do a tremendous job of of building a high level of skills within a culture that avoids unnecessary head trauma, which if you've trained at many places you know makes them a…
I dropped in for one of the 10-11 AM classes on my way through Eau Claire. It was a small class, but I had a wonderful time. The guys were very friendly and welcoming. I got some great rolls and had a lot of fun.
New to muay thai? Start at Ronin Fitness
Ronin Fitness 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 Ronin Fitness
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.
