From the reviews
My son started WOTW earlier this year and it has made all the difference. From learning hands on ways to stop a bully, learning how to advocate for himself and the steps to ensure his voice is heard and to know that it matters, WOTW does it all.
We signed our boys up (ages 5 & 9) for the 3 week trial and they really liked it and wanted to continue, so we signed them up. They have been doing BJJ & Shoushu for a few months here now and already possess self defense skills.
We had an incredible first class experience at Way of the Warrior Martial Arts in Elk Grove! The moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and supported. The instructors were professional, encouraging, and great with the kids. My daughter felt comfortable right away and was completely engaged throughout the class.
Since joining, we’ve seen a noticeable transformation in both of our kids. Their confidence has grown, they show more discipline at home and in school, and they’ve developed real resilience when facing challenges. It’s been amazing to watch.
Your first muay thai class at Way of the Warrior 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.
