★★★★★ — Patrick, Apr 2023

I was looking for a new hobby, this was the best decision I could have made! I learned great self defense from great coaches and made a bunch of friends and got in great shape in the process. I started with BJJ but then began to really enjoy the Muay Thai program as well. I highly recommend!!

★★★★★ — Joseph, Apr 2023

I trained a few different places before coming here. I would say this is the best school I trained at by far. Jon is a great Jiu Jitsu instructor. The Muay Thai classes are awesome too with Greg. I can honestly say coming here was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

★★★★★ — Max, Oct 2013

I've been at Spartan for a year now. I've train in BJJ with John and he's been extremely patient and has a great way of explaining simple moves that have a foundational impact on how I train. People of all ages, sizes, athletic ability all train as one.

New to muay thai? Start at Spartan Mixed Martial Arts

Spartan Mixed 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 Spartan Mixed 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.

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.
