From the reviews

Did my research before moving to St George and took a month doing trials across the gyms. I subjectively don't have anything negative to say about the rest but here's what drew me to this gym: 1. Community - strong sense of respect for each other and bonding events.

★★★★★ — Anthony, Nov 2024

I have been a practicing grappler since 1984 and hold black belt rank in both Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Charlie became my professor several years ago. Charlie is amongst the best coaches I have ever had, and that includes Olympic level Wrestling and Judo coaches.

★★★★★ — Jonathon, Jun 2023

We were visiting the St George area and were lucky enough to find STG Jiu Jitsu. Charlie has a great spot with clean mats, friendly vibes, and amazing technique. We all had a great time training here and were able to get a few sessions in during our week in town. If you’re visiting the area check them out.

★★★★★ — Adrian, Apr 2024

Came to Hurricane to visit family and wanted to get some rolls in. Found Stg jui jitsu on the interwebs so I made the 20 minute trek over to st George and I sure am glad I did! I dropped in for the Monday night 7:30 pm Nogi class. I was welcomed immediately as I walked through the doors.

New to muay thai? Start at STG Jiu Jitsu

STG Jiu Jitsu 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 STG 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.
