The classes they run
“Another selling point for me is that they have classes for all skill levels, from kids to beginners (fundamentals) to advanced (adults) so there’s a spot for everyone.”
“Sparring feels very safe and you don’t feel like somebody is going to inadvertently hurt you (which is usually a concern for smaller people like me).”
“Everyone is friendly and accommodating, and the training environment is relaxed and very conducive to learning, whether you’re training to compete or as a hobby.”
“From Muay Thai to Bjj, the kindest people I've met in my life, extremely knowledgeable with vast patience.”

From the reviews
I train here for the jiu-jitsu. I’m very picky with my gyms as social settings tend to give me anxiety. (It usually takes me 4-6 months before I’m able to join.) That said, this gym immediately made me feel comfortable with its very welcoming atmosphere.
Excellent Academy. I recommend everyone check out at least 2-3 different gyms to get a feel for what you like and don’t like about the place. Signing up at a gym / martial arts academy is a big financial commitment but also your time and livelihood.
I've trained at Vital for the past 3 and half years doing just BJJ, and it has been one of the best experiences of my life, by far. The first time I walked in back in 2019, I asked the gym owner how long he recommends I sign up for.
This is a great martial arts academy. The gym is spacious which is not always easy to find for BJJ. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and have a great way about coaching. The Muay Thai program looks really good! I like that there are separate changing areas!
New to kickboxing? Start at Vital Jiu Jitsu - Srisuk Muay Thai
Vital Jiu Jitsu - Srisuk Muay Thai 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 Vital Jiu Jitsu - Srisuk Muay Thai
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.
