From the reviews

I trained here for a year pre-covid mostly in Muay Thai. I learned some mma, boxing, and jiu jitsu as well. Amazing gym, awesome training partners, very knowledgeable coaches, and is cleaned daily. I trained here for a couple weeks this year, but I have asthma so working out with a mask made me feel ill

★★★★★ — Chross, Apr 2022

Took my first intro class today, Saturdays at noon, and it was amazing! Great people, awesome instructor. Felt very safe and was allowed to go as slow as I wanted. Will definitely be back for more!

My kids love their jujitsu and kickboxing classes. Nick is great with the kids, Natalie too on their boxing days. Ive taken the evening kickboxing, be ready to train with and by some Pros. Nice small gym. I highly recommend this local, family owned and grown business.

New to BJJ? Start at ANK - Santa Fe Muay Thai

ANK - Santa Fe Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all 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, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first BJJ class at ANK - Santa Fe Muay Thai

Nervous about walking into a BJJ 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 basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, 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.
