From the reviews
We were looking for a place for our kids to train jiu jitsu and Muay Thai, and we’re so glad we found SMA. Maria in the front office is always so friendly and helpful with any questions or scheduling needs. It has a great community feel, and it’s the only time my kids are truly focused.
Although a gym, it feels more like a community of the most wonderful people you'd ever meet in your life. When first started to train at Silanoe Martial Arts around a few months ago, I was immediately hooked by the welcoming and friendly nature of everyone.
I have been at Silanoe Martial Arts since 2023. I’ve done trials at other academies around the area, and hands down this is the best place to be for learning self-defense and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Whether you are a competitor or recreationalist, the curriculum here provides a solid foundation for both groups of people.
Currently, I have been training for over 10 years of Jiu Jitsu now. After training different Martial Arts, I have found Jiu Jitsu to be one of the most fun and effective arts of all. I was training at a different Jiu Jitsu academy when a friend recommended me to Professor Gino Silanoe.
New to muay thai? Start at Silanoe Martial Arts
Silanoe Martial Arts 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 Silanoe Martial Arts
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.
