From the reviews

As a parent whose son had struggled with social anxiety and had a difficult time fitting in with kids his own age, I can vividly recall the sense of surprise and relief I felt when I first brought him to this exceptional facility.

★★★★★ — Helen, Oct 2024

I started my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Catch Wrestling journey along side my son at the Snake Pit USA gym for the obvious 40 year old reasons. And I couldn’t have been happier with my decision.

★★★★★ — Christopher, Oct 2023

The coaches are world class!!! My son has gone there from age 7. The discipline is matched with equal praise at effort. Coach Dale has a phenomenal way of working with the kids. He has a way of not only being their coach but also their friend.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Oct 2023

We have been with Snake Pit for a little of a year(we have previously tried 2 other schools) and have nothing but an amazing experience from day 1. Head Coach, Joel Bane, has been an amazing asset in our childrens growth in the sport.

Your first muay thai class at Snake Pit U.S.A. Mixed Martial Arts Academy/Machado Jiu-Jitsu

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.
