What members say
“Whether you are a beginner or have been working out for years, I think you'll find exactly what you are looking for to suit your fitness needs at Torres Martial Arts Academy!”
“Miguel is an excellent coach and everybody that comes into the gym eventually feels like family because everybody is a team player.”
“Miguel Torres is always at the gym, and unless he is training for a fight he trains everyone.”
“I should also mention that Mely (the real boss) runs a tight ship, with friendly front desk staff, and a super clean, you-could-eat-off-the-floor environment.”
“I’ve been a member of this gym for 5 years and I drive an hour each way (sometimes longer while stuck in traffic), it’s worth the commute.”

From the reviews
been coming here for over 2 years, and cant say enough about how much this place and the people there have changed my life for the better. They have classes morning and evening and even on the holidays in the AM. Class time/availability is unmatched in the area.
I attend the kick-boxing classes at Torres Martial Arts. I definitely feel like I've learned a lot and met some fitness goals so far in the 6 months I've been working out there. Miguel is very dedicated to his students, he is there all day everyday they are open, incredible!
This is honestly the best thing you’ll ever do! They have the greatest staff, the greatest instructors, and the greatest classes for all levels from kids to adults! There really is no better place to learn something new then here!
Love Torres! My son has been coming for a year and a half now with a break in between. When he came back it was like he never left. He fit right back in with both the kids kick boxing class and kids Jiu-jitsu. I couldn't be more satisfied with the skills he has learned in both classes.
New to muay thai? Start at Torres Martial Arts Academy
Torres Martial Arts Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Torres Martial Arts Academy
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.
