From the reviews
I am giving Invictus 5 stars rating as there team has been nothing but amazing! This gym offers a wide variety of martial art training for beginners to advanced. They also have great scheduling and a welcoming environment.
Invictus has been a game changer for my physical and mental health. The coaches are skilled and genuinely invested, and it's the people and the atmosphere that really make this place special. It’s welcoming, and full of teammates who lift each other up.
I can’t speak highly enough about the expertise Invictus exemplifies in every class. The range of skill level in students varies significantly and the gym’s community is welcoming to everyone regardless. I’ve tried quite a few gyms and after finding Invictus, never looked back.
This place is great, everybody is very friendly, coaches are welcoming for all skill levels. The facility is kept clean, we wipe all the equipment down every day, and their open mat on saturday for sparring is a great time. They have a flexible schedule for people who work mornings or nights too.
New to kickboxing? Start at Invictus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai academy
Invictus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai academy 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 Invictus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai academy
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.
