From the reviews
I love love love this place! I am from Michigan and when I am in town I am always looking to grapple. They are so welcoming and the training is awesome! I learn advanced techniques yet feel comfortable and have a blast. Very clean, (important for us ladies) and it's air conditioned or at least felt like it.
Josh And Renny are superb Instructors and teach a very high level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Class. The crowd is friendly and pleasant and the training is tough and challenging as it should be. Great location with very nice amenities and women friendly atmosphere .
Great professors, great schedule and clean environment. LOVE the 6:00am classes as a working father who had to stop training for a period of time due to his always changing work schedule. These morning classes are lead by professors who love the sport and really care that their students learn.
Teknica provides a family and respectful environment. I am impressed with the level of technical coaching and the encouragement from Professors Alex, Josh, and Renny. For adults, the 6 am class and 11 am class options are helpful. My 14 year old son has trained at Teknica for 14 months.
New to muay thai? Start at Teknica Martial Arts
Teknica 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 Teknica 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.
