From the reviews
I've been involved in competitive martial arts for over 25yrs. Mike is the best instructor I've ever seen with kids. His patients and genuine excitement and love of working with the kids is obvious to anyone who sees.
Superhero Jiu Jitsu is such a fun place. I go for the kickboxing classes and have been going off and on for a year. It’s a super friendly environment and they are extremely welcoming, even to people who don’t consistently show up. They always greet you and ask how you’ve been, etc.
The instructors are SO great with the kids! Honestly EVERYONE there is so friendly and helpful. My son is ADHD and takes a while to catch on but LOVES coming to class and the instructor does great at keeping the kids attention and letting the kids know it's OK not to be great yet.
I found Superhero Jiu Jitsu on Facebook and thought could I do this? Heck yes! This has been such a great experience. I have never done anything like this and learning Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing in my 40’s...who would of thought! Getting stronger every day and the staff is wonderful!
New to muay thai? Start at Superhero Jiu Jitsu Academy
Superhero Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Superhero Jiu Jitsu Academy
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.
