From the reviews
Highly recommended martial arts school if you’re a beginner or experienced Jiu-Jitsu/Muay Thai practitioner. Caleb, Anita, and Jon have created a welcoming and family oriented academy to train at.
Beautiful gym filled with strong community and instructors who really look out for you. There’s growth with every class and if you are looking for a place to start your jiujitsu journey especially in a safe environment I highly recommend Steadfast. First class is free!
I wish we would have found Steadfast sooner. The coaching is amazing, they pay attention to your development and truly care about your journey in Jiu Jitsu. The atmosphere at the gym is a perfect mixture of laid back and competition.
Steadfast is one of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at. This gym has provided me a sense of community through the people here, everyone creates a welcoming and supportive environment, where everyone pushes each other to be better, regardless of skill level.
New to muay thai? Start at Steadfast Martial Arts
Steadfast 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 Steadfast 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.
