From the reviews
I've been training here for about 8 months, and I have no plans to stop. The class size is small so everyone gets plenty of one-on-one time with the instructors. Those attending class form a friendly little community of mutual support.
Update: 10/2024 Still love this Gym, and now I have kid's that train here. The price is right, the kids get good attention. The coaches are really good and help you learn the art of Jiujitsu. I'd recommend Royal MMA to anyone interested.
Training at Royal MMA under Coach Mark has been one of the most transformative experiences. When I first walked into the gym, I was 240 pounds and unsure of where to even begin.
My two children have been enrolled in Royal Mixed Martial Arts for a bit now and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention they give to them and all the kids in there. The instructors are patient and nurturing, providing a safe and positive environment for the children to learn in.
New to muay thai? Start at Royal MMA
Royal MMA 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 Royal 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.
