From the reviews
Have trained here a couple times. I'm a novice that knows more than the average untrained dude but by no means am I even intermediate. That being said, these dudes here are absolute studs with absolutely amazing coaches. If you're trying to get into MMA and you're serious. This place can, and has created champions.
We have driven up from the Franklin area several times for training & tournaments and have always had the best experience. It is a very welcoming environment. Andrew and the other coaches not only place value on being skilled at Jiu-Jitsu but also having a positive attitude and learning how to win and lose graciously.
A great place to train full of caring coaches and intensity. I have learn and grown a lot since first starting here
I train at Wildside Clarksville and I can honestly say it’s the best environment I’ve been part of. Whether you’re there for MMA , BJJ, or kickboxing, they have everything inbetween you need to grow and level up. The coaching, the mentoring and the team atmosphere is second to none.
New to muay thai? Start at Wildside Combat Sports Center
Wildside Combat Sports Center 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 Wildside Combat Sports Center
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.
