From the reviews

I had the fortunate pleasure of dropping into Teixeira MMA tonight for their BJJ class while traveling for work. It was by far one of the best drop in experiences I have had. The instructor and members were more than welcoming and the professor was extremely knowledgeable.

★★★★★ — Ch, Jul 2023

The coaches at Teixeira MMA are not only extremely knowledgeable but also patient and so kind to the young kids they teach. 10/10 would never take my daughter elsewhere. They truly make the gym and second home and family. Love these guys! Shout out to coach Victor, Juju, Jason and Mari

★★★★★ — Meg, Dec 2023

I have been coming to this gym for about 2 months now. Since you walk in the door everyone is super friendly and helpful. Raf took the time to help me choose classes. I am a girl basically beginning BJJ and coach Caio has been extremely respectful, encouraging and patient with me, and with everyone else on the mats.

★★★★★ — Anjori, Jan 2026

I have been training here for two years and the classes stay challenging. The instructors are knowledgeable and students of all fitness levels are encouraged equally. The atmosphere is postive and Glover really cares about making sure people are improving their fitness.

Your first kickboxing class at Teixeira MMA & 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.
