From the reviews

Joined the team 4 years ago and so happy of my decision. Family style gym, great coaches and atmosphere! Meet there a lot of people who became my friends! This team helped me to make my jiu jitsu better and improve my competition performances. Definitely will recommend to join the team!

★★★★★ — Nina, Apr 2023

Total MMA has changed me for the better! I started coming to Total MMA in January and joined the 6-week Jiu Jitsu challenge, and I instantly fell in love with BJJ. After just a few months, my high blood pressure dropped to an all-time low. That alone would’ve made it worth it. But I didn’t stop there.

★★★★★ — Eddie, Aug 2025

New to muay thai? Start at Total MMA Studios

Total MMA Studios 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 Total MMA Studios

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.
