From the reviews
Training mma here has been a great experience. I’ve been here a little over two years and love training here. Whether you want to be a fighter or just get in better shape, the gym does both by mixing both cardio and technique into the classes.
My brother and I have been going to Oleg at Zealous Nation MMA for around 10 years. Oleg is the real deal. He is hands-down, the best coach in NJ for Boxing, MMA, Combat Sambo, and strength training.
Been at this gym for 10 years, you won’t find a better place to learn high level martial arts skills, including boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and more. Great for anyone who wants to get in shape, learn to defend themselves, or become a fighter!
World Class Training and Amazing atmosphere! Coach Oleg is an amazing instructor! Atmosphere is Friendly and welcoming housing all levels of martial artist from Fighters to those simply looking for a great workout!
Your first muay thai class at Zealous Nation MMA
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.
