★★★★★ — Patricia, Jun 2022

I decided to drop in for a couple classes while visiting family in the area. The students and coaches were very welcoming and I got in some great drilling and rolling. The facility is nice and clean with lots of mat space. I'm looking forward to visiting again! 🤙🏻

★★★★★ — Ariane, Jul 2023

Such a welcoming atmosphere with amazing people. High level of Jiu Jitsu and fantastic beginners program! Worth stopping in! 1 YEAR UPDATE: Won a Jiu Jitsu World League in the women’s Masters Middle Weight division. The Jiu jitsu is phenomenal here.

New to muay thai? Start at RT Martial Arts Academy HQ

RT Martial Arts Academy HQ 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 RT Martial Arts Academy HQ

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
