From the reviews

I’ve been training with Dj for 3ish years, and I can say without hesitation that this is the best Muay Thai gym in Nashville. Dj is a coach who actually knows how to build fighters from the ground up. He doesn’t just run you through drills, he explains the why behind everything.

Everyone needs a church and this is my church! Amazing people to work with, everyone is very respectful and friendly, I had no experience of fighting, I still beginner but it's bc of me, I'm too lazy to workout every day. But I can handle the sparring sessions on Sundays. Thank you everyone here for been amazing.

★★★★★ — Jb, Jul 2025

I've been to one gym in Middle Tennessee and one in Nashville and so far this has been the best Muay Thai gym that I have trained in, Coach DJ is very observant when it comes to your foundation and your style, whether you are a beginner or not, this is a really good asset to have as a Coach, and not only that He cares…

★★★★★ — Dave, Nov 2023

This is a great gym to learn to fight competitively, learn applicable self defense technique, the traditional ways of muaythai, how to push yourself in a way that can be easily transferable to many other areas of life and of course meet people and make friends.

★★★★★ — Chris, Mar 2022

New to kickboxing? Start at Fight Force Fitness

Fight Force Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Fight Force Fitness

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
