★★★★★ — Lydia, Jun 2021

The boxing class is awesome. It gives you a great workout using boxing technique so you’re learning and improving the craft while getting into shape. Boxing at Valor is different in this way because most other boxing gyms in the area charge you $ to run and do other strength and conditioning drills that you can do on…

★★★★★ — Craig, Jan 2020

Love this place . Everyone was very helpful and informative. Vanessa at the front desk was very descriptive of the available classes and helping my son's with their equipment. I found the environment very upbeat with with a fun and comfortable vibe.

★★★★★ — Bethany, Jul 2022

The patience from instructors with Brazilian judo is just phenomenally indescribable. They are great teachers. Crawl, walk, run is the best way I can attempt to describe it. Having beginners to advanced, this place is where to go for adults of any range and children of any age.

New to muay thai? Start at Valor Martial Arts

Valor Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Valor 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.
