From the reviews

Great place to do Martial arts besides been the home of UFC champions Glover Teixeira and Alex Poatan Pereira and several future prospects. Brazilian jiu-jitsu has the great black belt and former UFC fight Caio Magalhães. If you looking for training and being in shape there is the place to be.

★★★★★ — Andre, May 2023

At 52 I was unsure a fight school would be a good place for me to train...boy was I wrong!! I have completely transformed my body. The trainers are so invested in helping you achieve your goals...big or small!! You feel super motivated when working with these professional athletes..

★★★★★ — Melissa, Mar 2020

I had the fortunate pleasure of dropping into Teixeira MMA tonight for their BJJ class while traveling for work. It was by far one of the best drop in experiences I have had. The instructor and members were more than welcoming and the professor was extremely knowledgeable.

★★★★★ — Ch, Jul 2023

The coaches at Teixeira MMA are not only extremely knowledgeable but also patient and so kind to the young kids they teach. 10/10 would never take my daughter elsewhere. They truly make the gym and second home and family. Love these guys! Shout out to coach Victor, Juju, Jason and Mari

Your first muay thai class at Teixeira MMA & Fitness

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.
