From the reviews
As my first experience in martial arts training, it was a great introduction to JKD and Muay Thai. Sifu Dwight Woods is a wonderful teacher and overall, the students are very friendly and welcoming. This is a great place to start if you are looking to get your feet wet with martial arts.
My experiences with UMAA and the encyclopedic owner Sifu Dwight Woods, not only formulated me as a martial artist but as a young man. For years the "Jeet Kune Do Rebel" has blazed a trail in the Miami-based martial arts, teaching Jeet Kune Do concepts but also Muay Thai (the "King of the Ring" in striking arts),…
Sifu Woods brings a lifetime of knowledge and experience to his classes, which are also fun and interesting as a result of his teaching style. Going to his classes are one of my favorite reasons to go to Miami.
I started training for MMA a few years ago, I meet many trainers in different fighting academies over the years. I trained in many arts including Jiu Jistsu but I was recently introduced to JKD.
Your first muay thai class at Unified Martial Art 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.
