The Program
Train Strikes. Build Conditioning. No Experience Needed.
Muay Thai and kickboxing at Machado Method combine technical striking instruction with real conditioning work. Classes run Monday through Thursday, 5:00 to 6:00 PM, with structured technique work and live training every session. Whether the goal is fitness, self-defense, or eventually competing, every class is built so a first-timer can walk in and keep up.
What You'll Learn
Real Striking. Real Conditioning.
- Striking fundamentals: punches, kicks, elbows, and knees drilled the way they are actually used
- Pad work and conditioning that builds real cardio, not just a sweat
- Defensive fundamentals so training carries into real self-defense, not just the gym
- A structured path from first class to live training as skill and confidence build

Master Carlos Machado has taught in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for 30 years. The kindest reviews come from the families who have been on his mat the longest.
Amazing instructors here that push and develop all skill levels. They do such great work with the kids. I can't wait to get my daughter training here with me! It's truly a great gym with even better people in and around it. Carlos Machado jiu-jitsu is definitely the place to train at!
Coach Malik 7 pm class and coach Corey 11 am class are the best classes I’ve come to, bringing my daughter as well, she loves the 5:30 PM class.
