From the reviews
Dropped in to this gem of a gym from California. The team here was extremely friendly, informative and inviting. I had no problem plugging right in with the team. The training was very thorough.
Something for everyone! Fitness, self defense, martial arts, kids programs. Whether you're a beginner with no experience or an MMA veteran. Hope to see you soon!
I love how close knit and competitive it is there. It's competitive in a way that makes everyone want to reach their goals. I came here 3 years ago and I've lost between 50-70 pounds in no time at all. I've learned so many different martial arts and learned them wel.
Jason High and LC Davis and the rest of the ATTHD staff are simply amazing. You're guaranteed to sweat a bunch, hurt, but afterwards feel like you've not only gotten a great workout in, but also learned a thing or 2. Seems more like a giant family than a mma gym
New to muay thai? Start at Welcome Mat Martial Arts
Welcome Mat 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 Welcome Mat 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.
