From the reviews
Bradley really is a great martial arts instructor, especially as someone who had no prior experience. He was patient and showed me everything thoroughly. He didn't mind explaining things multiple times when I needed it and made me feel super comfortable the entire time I was there.
I’ve trained under Brad for the past several months. Each time I take his class I learn something new. He gives each of his students personalized, individualized attention no matter your skill level, whether you're a beginner to advanced. I highly recommend joining the Ronin Ludus team!
All of the staff here are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. The facility is also very clean and well-kept, which I truly appreciate as a parent. When my 8 year old daughter first started, she was timid and worried about hurting others.
Beginning such a adventure for me was a bit intimidating, but since day one of walking into Ronin Ludus I have had nothing but a pleasurable and positive experience. Coach Bradley and Tommy are highly skilled and very open and engaging. I always feel they have the best interests of the individual student.
New to muay thai? Start at The Ronin Ludus
The Ronin Ludus 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 Ronin Ludus
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.
