From the reviews
Great place to train bjj and Muay Thai. I’ve known coach Maurice for 2 years now and I am glad to see he has his own gym now. I just started training there and I have two of my boys who attend the kids class. I enjoy going there it’s a family oriented place.
I signed up wanting to try Muay Thai, iv never taken any martial arts classes before I was slightly nervous but Kayla and Coach Mo made me feel very comfortable, they were always making sure I was doing good and explained anything that I was unsure about with my form or technique.
This place is great! The trainers always provide a welcome atmosphere to everyone. My daughters and son both train here and love it. The coaches have really impacted my kids by giving them self confidence, having a fun environment and teach them how to defend themselves.
Starters such as my self felt very comfortable and welcome, really for all skill levels, coaches are enthusiastic and good teachers. Look for coach Richard, Brian, Maurice they are wizards at the game with very detailed instructions.
New to kickboxing? Start at Animal Instincts Muay Thai & BJJ
Animal Instincts Muay Thai & BJJ 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at Animal Instincts Muay Thai & BJJ
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
