From the reviews

I have trained Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing at this Academy for years. It's always such a pleasant experience and such a positive environment! I have grown personally and artistically over the years while attending. There is so much love, patience, and encouragement from both the Masters and Professors.

I cannot recommend this academy enough. Not only are the coaches wonderful, but all of the teammates and assistants are too. My son is in Little Dragons and I am continually blown away by the coaches (Professor Jackson and also Coach Moore). They are firm and disciplined while being kind and fun.

Your first muay thai class at TX Black Belt Academy Arlington

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.
