From the reviews

I’ve had the privilege of training and teaching at Tricities Jiu-Jitsu, and it’s been nothing short of a fantastic experience. Under the guidance of Coach Barry, they have fantastic adults and kids martial arts programs.

★★★★★ — Todd, May 2023

All of the coaches has been great with my son here, and I can honestly see a huge transformation from my 6 year old son in just 6 months. I’m looking forward to continue watching him excel physically and mentally. I recommend 5 stars. The gym is clean and inviting and offer training 6 out of 7 days. My son loves it.

★★★★★ — Ciarra, Aug 2025

This is an awesome club! I put my 5 year old into Jiu Jitsu, she has no siblings and I wanted her to learn to defend her self and stand up for herself in the future! I can’t express how much more she has received from the program. She has attended for 1 year and her confidence is through the roof.

★★★★★ — Rob, Sep 2024

Started my son here at the end of may the staff here is amazing coach barry and his crew are amazing with the kids not only teaching them the art of ju jitsu but he also gathers the kids every class to teach them a little life lesson weather it be about being humble or hardworking etc.

New to muay thai? Start at Tri Cities Jiu Jitsu Club

Tri Cities Jiu Jitsu Club 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 Tri Cities Jiu Jitsu Club

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.
