From the reviews

This class has been the best confidence builder for my daughter. She struggled with being bullied because she’s a tall and bigger girl than her peers. She used to cry about being tall. She’s been enrolled for about 6 months now. She tried all the classes and decided she loves boxing the most.

★★★★★ — Robin, Apr 2021

I signed up for a year of boxing. I went from weighing 190 lbs to 160 lbs. I was wearing a 36" waist and am now wearing a 30" waist. I have Top Level and changing my diet to thank for that. If you go at least 3 times a week, you will be in great shape in no time. The more you go, the easier it gets.

★★★★☆ — Nathan, May 2019

There are two things to know about Top Level Gym. The first being that it's owned and ran by Ian Ransburg who is a student of Matee Tongbua. Matee is a Lumpinee champion who flourished in the Golden Era of Muay Thai in Thailand with a technical style (Femui).

★★★★★ — Chris, Dec 2018

I started a week ago and this place is addictive. The Boxing and Muay Thai instructors are really cool dudes! The environment is incredible, positive, and focused on meeting your needs. Great for the person looking to learn how to fight like a professional and develop a healthy lifestyle.

Your first BJJ class at Top Level Gym

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.
