Learn effective striking fundamentals, improve conditioning and build confidence in a structured adult Muay Thai program.
The truth is, there’s no way to know when you might face real-world danger in your everyday life. At Alex Martins BJJ, we’re here to make sure you’re prepared.
Our Adult Muay Thai classes are giving everyday men and women across Dallas the chance to learn effective striking techniques and build unshakable confidence. And yeah, we have a great time in the process.
We get it. It’s scary to think about having to use Muay Thai techniques in a real-world altercation.
What’s even scarier, though, is having to face that same threat without the discipline needed to stay safe.
At Alex Martins BJJ, we work with teachers, doctors, and lawyers. We train your friends, your neighbors and the everyday people in our supportive environment.
Muay Thai training develops stance, footwork, punches, kicks, knees, defensive movement and conditioning through purposeful practice. At Alex Martins BJJ, the landing page should emphasize technical coaching, safety and beginner accessibility instead of presenting every class as hard sparring. New students need to understand exactly how the academy introduces contact and progression. Beginners start with stance, guard, footwork and clean striking mechanics before adding greater speed, power or contact. As students progress, classes can include more complex combinations, defensive movement, pad work, conditioning and partner drills under instructor supervision.

I travel the majority of the year. So I drop into whatever school looks good in the city that I’m in. Well today I came here and it’s an incredible school. If I lived in Dallas I would’ve signed up. I will also be recommending this academy to my friends if they are traveling to Dallas. 🤘Posted on Google Ben KraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. when in Dallas!! world class jujutsu, fantastic training, space and great people - Very welcoming!Posted on Google harvey giddensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I love this place and am glad to call it my home academy.Posted on Google MijoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing gym! The staff and professors were all kind and welcoming! I myself came from out of town but they treated me like I was family. The technique was high level and the rolls were intense. If I’m ever in Dallas again I will most definitely visit again! OSS!Posted on Google marshall neipertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
