From the reviews
I’ve trained at Insight for the last 3 weeks and from my visit, trial period, and beyond I have been treated with respect, care, and a desire by everyone I’ve worked with to see me improve. Professor Alex is very knowledgeable and shows concepts/techniques in relatable ways.
Such an amazing gym! Highly recommend! My kids have been training here for a few months now and the coaches are all amazing, very patient with the kids & very helpful! Once they see something being done not quite right they fix it right away.
Started bringing my boys over the summer and they love it. It’s been great as a parent watching their confidence grow over the months. Alex is great with the kids and quite experienced with showing them the proper techniques.
My kids have been training with Coach Alex for 6 years he's not only a coach. He's a mentor. He's taught my children so much about what it means to be responsible and to be leaders in their community he's made us feel like family.
New to kickboxing? Start at Insight Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Judo & Muay Thai - Bastrop
Insight Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Judo & Muay Thai - Bastrop 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 Insight Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Judo & Muay Thai - Bastrop
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.
