Muay Thai

Thai boxing in its classical form: work at all ranges, from long distance to the clinch. We study elbow and knee technique and learn to hold the tempo of a round.

Muay Thai is called “the art of eight limbs”: you strike with fists, feet, elbows and knees, and in the clinch you can throw and control your opponent. So the technique is noticeably wider than in boxing or kickboxing, and work with distance and the body is especially important.

A session includes a warm-up, skipping rope and conditioning, then technique: strikes, blocks, pushing and the clinch, drilled in pairs, on the bags and on the pads with the coach. Rounds are built to teach you to distribute your strength and keep the rhythm of a whole fight.

The groups are mixed by level: beginners get separate tasks within the shared session. Muay Thai builds endurance, balance and strength in the legs and core, and suits both getting in shape and preparing for competition.
