From the reviews
a lot of passion and knowledge in the coaches and I'm definitely going to sign up.
The best place to train in the whole state. Coach Jake and Octivan have wealth of knowledge and poor into their students everyday.
Having been a member since April of this year I feel as though I can really give a good, honest, and unbiased review that others may find useful. I joined this gym as a challenge for myself, craving an outlet for my anxiety and anger as well and as much as having the desire to tap into my long-lost athleticism.

Your first muay thai class at The House of Muay Thai: MMA & Performance Center
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.
