★★★★★ — Jason, Aug 2021

This gym is unparalleled in training techniques and community. I've been pushed mentally and physically, all while having the time of my life, and am absolutely better for it! Everyone here is always willing to help and even meet early or stay late to continue training.

★★★★★ — Katie, Jun 2023

My son has been at Tri-Force MMA since he was 6 years of age, he is almost 12 and he improved so much! All the coaches are excellent, respectful, friendly, patient, certified, well trained and love to work with kids, they have a curriculum to follow and practice different dynamics, kids never get bored.

★★★★★ — Maria, Jun 2023

My first time there just to see what it was about.i liked what I seen. But what I was really impressed with was the trainer instructor with the kids. The patience and tone he had was very impressive. I hope with my age and health they can help me improve my over all being. Also the hrs if you work nights like I do.

New to muay thai? Start at Tri-Force MMA

Tri-Force MMA 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-Force MMA

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.
