From the reviews

I am a lifelong (well, not yet, but someday) martial arts practitioner, who has met and trained under --or with --some of the greatest teachers of our era. I'm relocating to Boise so, naturally, I went looking for a place to learn and practice, as I have retired from owning and managing a full time school of my own.

★★★★★ — Tom, Jun 2018

100% agree with every one of the above reviews. I've been looking to sign my son and myself up for a while. I'd heard Gracie Barra had opened so we went down to check it out. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like friends. Professor Ray is an exemplary professional.

★★★★★ — Ben, Apr 2018

This is a great place to train. The atmosphere is amazing, a very supportive and engaging group of people. The instruction is second to none. I have had the luxury of training in multiple states, professor Ray's attention to detail and explanation of techniques being taught is solid and clear.

★★★★★ — Jacob, Mar 2018

An excellent place to learn Jiu-jitsu, regardless of experience or fitness level. The community is incredibly supportive, the professors and coaches are excellent at what they do. I immediately felt welcomed and supported. I started at GB Boise heavier and less fit than I have ever been.

★★★★★ — Richard, Jul 2024

New to muay thai? Start at The Collective Jiu Jitsu Club

The Collective Jiu Jitsu Club 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 The Collective Jiu Jitsu Club

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.
