From the reviews
Best place to get some training in, as well as training with people that are basically another family. Very open place, no judgements. We learn a lot and have a great time doing it. Coach is a great guy and great instructor. There's no reason not to give this place a try.
Clean gym, great mats, and equipment. Everything you need from heavy bags, speed bag, double ends bag and plenty of mat space. Private group training is great for all levels of martial art experience!
Best place to train mixed martial arts. The coach is very knowledgeable, friendly, and caring and the athletes are very helpful during classes.
Where can I begin, Smac is the best place to train in all surrounding counties Mr Jamey Perkins is a great coach/mentor the environment is awesome a great place to go to grow as a fighter and martial artist.
Your first muay thai class at SMAC Southeast Martial Arts Center
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.
