From the reviews
Amazing BJJ Gym, my favorite out of the 3 gyms I have trained at. Professor Jessica is awesome and is extremely welcoming to everyone. There are lots of quality training partners and a big schedule with a ton of classes throughout the week, and if you join you can also train at the Redmond T3MA as well.
I started training Muay Thai at T3MA back in June of 2021 and the gym has been an absolutely solid environment to learn. The instructors are all genuinely happy to see you show up in classes and will give you personal feedback on your technique.
This is by far my favorite Jiu Jitsu school in the Seattle area. I have visited several schools in the region, and they can never compare to the quality of T3MA.
We have been attending BJJ at T3MA for a few months now and I have nothing but amazing things to say! Professor Jessica is an absolute rockstar with the kids — she has the perfect balance of fun, education, and discipline that our 6 year old thrives off of.
New to muay thai? Start at T3MA of Bellevue
T3MA of Bellevue 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 T3MA of Bellevue
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.
