What members say
“Still run by the same coach Forrest that was here when my dad was, along with coach Corey, the place has been great and I have no regrets.”

From the reviews
I am so thankful I found this gym. The community and coaches are amazing and you will never run out of things to learn. A few months ago, I had no idea what Jiu Jitsu even was. I joined this gym to learn Muay Thai and sharpen my kickboxing skills, as I had previous boxing experience.
First a quick review: Best gym in Austin, not only do you get a great workout and become a better fighter, but you also have a very supporting community that helps each other grow and enjoy the pain, like family!
Originally just want to see how far I can go for doing this without any fighting / martial art background. After been participating Coach Corey’s Muay Thai and Kickboxing class, I was not only able to improve my cardio endurance, muscle strength.
I have been in martial arts for the better part of 35 years and I have to say that the training I have received over the last year at Fighting Fit has been excellent. The Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and kickboxing classes are well rounded and adapted to any skill level.
New to BJJ? Start at Fighting Fit Kickboxing & Jiu Jitsu
Fighting Fit Kickboxing & Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Fighting Fit Kickboxing & Jiu Jitsu
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.
