From the reviews
My daughter absolutely loves Toe2Toe Martial Arts! Sensei Joel is incredible. He has so much patience with the kids and really knows how to meet each child where they are. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping them grow in confidence, discipline, and skills. The environment is always welcoming and encouraging.
My friend and I dont live in Arkansas and we were visiting for a funeral. We wanted to get in a gym and spar - Joel Fountain was welcoming and accommodating to our request, we had a blast. He watched us and coached us where he saw fit.
Toe2toe is a wonderful place. I signed my son up for kickboxing and jiujitsu with them and he loves it. It’s such a friendly environment. The instructors are always friendly and care about each and every student. Since beginning here, my son’s confidence has grown tremendously and his respect.
My kiddos are in the 4-6 age range Toe2Toe classes which are offered M, T, Thurs, and Friday. I am beyond excited for the progress I’m seeing in my kids. This week alone they have improved in their self discipline, awareness, and respect toward their siblings.
New to muay thai? Start at Toe2Toe Martial Arts & Self Defense Training
Toe2Toe Martial Arts & Self Defense Training 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 Toe2Toe Martial Arts & Self Defense Training
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.
