From the reviews

My son joined TJ’s when he was 15. Late to the party for sure. He was in need of some self confidence and self discipline. After sitting and talking to Grandmaster Bobby, he was 100% onboard. Grandmaster is an inspiring man, who talks about his journey as a way to motivate others.

I absolutely love training at Tokyo Joe’s Studios of Self Defense. From day one, the instructors have been incredible—Grand Master, Kyoshi, and Sensei are truly amazing at what they do. Their guidance has helped me build confidence in ways I didn’t expect when I first started.

Kids have been attending here for years now. Everyone has always been great. My Daughter has even starting working a couple classes a week and is learning a lot about teaching and leadership.I recommend this studio.

★★★★★ — Tim, Feb 2024

I have taken Taichi lessons at Tokyo Joe's Nashua location for about nine months. The staff is fantastic; classes are fun and good for the mind and body. I have been enjoying every lesson, and we also have a great group of people to practice with.

Your first muay thai class at Tokyo Joe's Studios of Self-Defense

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.
