From the reviews
My daughter has been coming here for about a year now. Her uncle is a martial art instructor and he did not hesitate to refer here...... all of the instructors at Chi's martial arts do an amazing job with the kids. They show attention to every child. Their program is amazing.
Both my kids go here… the instructor are very nice. The Saturday crew especially is very nice to younger kids … This real mixed martial art … the class is very affordable as well … I recommend this place to anyone to learn and teach kids life skill …
This place, these people are so wonderful!! I have made friendships that are still strong to this day. We always laugh, have so much fun and always are looking for a new adventure together! 🥰 Truly a life changing place for me.
My son has been taking the classes for a year and he loves it. Great teachers and they always have different activities for the kids to do. They’re always promoting good mental and physical health and during this times is nice to find a place where my child can get that and also learn self defense.
New to muay thai? Start at The Martial Arts Training Center
The Martial Arts Training Center 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 Martial Arts Training 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.
