From the reviews
I give this place a 5 stars. Everything you need to learn and become a great defender and fighter. I came to this place a week after quitting drinking and 420. This place made me realize how much I harmed my body over the years. I use to play sports and other active activities before and still thought I had my energy.
Whether you're experienced or totally new in the world of martial arts, you won't find many places more rewarding and inviting than World Team USA. I've been training Muay Thai and BJJ for years and was traveling out of town for about a weeks time from the East Coast and joined World Team USA.
This a truly special gym. I've been to a dozen muay thai gyms across the country and have not found a place that is as purposeful and thoughtful in their training as World Team USA. Top notch instruction no matter whether you're training to be a professional fighter or just trying to learn the sport.
Highly recommend for someone looking for a high-intensity workout that's easy on your joints! You learn a lot in general about movement. Have just taken 1 class so far but signed up for a 6-week boot camp. Got a great workout in and the staff is just so kind all around.
New to muay thai? Start at World Team USA Muay Thai BJJ & Fitness
World Team USA Muay Thai BJJ & Fitness 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 World Team USA Muay Thai BJJ & Fitness
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.
