From the reviews

Great school for kids & they have great adult classes as well. Instructors are professional & I couldn't be happier that my son goes here.

★★★★★ — Heléna, Aug 2016

I have had the privilege of working with the grand master and his students on numerous occasions, and the experience has been truly remarkable. The grand master’s seamless approach to his sessions fosters a natural flow that enhances content creation and learning.

★★★★★ — Unise, Jun 2025

My 4 year old started the karate class here about 4 months ago. He's learned so much already he ranked up two belts. I'm also in the kickboxing class. I joined to lose weight and get in shape. Bonus was learning self defense as well. Before I knew it my strength and endurance had increased dramatically.

★★★★★ — Nutan, Nov 2024

I came to karate in search of an activity to help our daughter build esteem, confidence, respect, focus, discipline and active listening. I can honestly say that this is hands down the best thing I have ever invested in for my daughter Laila. She is more confident, happier and doing better in school.

Your first muay thai class at Universal Warrior Mixed 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.

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.
