From the reviews
United Martial Arts teaches self-discipline, fitness, and respect. Initially, the goal was to learn self-defense, but my child is gaining so much more. Being able to learn karate and kickboxing is a collaboration of skills that I didn't realize he needed. It has built his confidence tremendously.
Love this gym , they treat everyone like Family My 14 year old autistic daughter is on the spectrum and is so comfortable When she trains with the coaches, they are so patient with her , she has more confidence and strength, I have also gained confidence that I can defend myself in a dangerous situation without…
Outstanding experience. Even in a group setting, the individuals are brought along at a comfortable pace while being pushed to be their best. The Sensei genuinely cares for the development of the students in building their discipline, self-confidence, and character.
Family friendly and GREAT Sensei!!!! My nephew ( a normally timid kid) had the pleasure of taking these classes and he absolutely loved it! Not only was he excited to go back and practice, but he became more confident! Great after school or weekend activity for kids to build confidence and discipline!
New to muay thai? Start at United Martial Arts
United Martial Arts 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 United Martial Arts
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.
