Thai Boxing

We have coached many Thai Boxing and Kick Boxing Champions and our team have worked with some of the top athletes in the World. With relaxed, patient and technical teaching methods, we guarantee to bring out the best in you whether you wish to train for fitness, self defence or to compete at the highest level. We are also able to give our students an excellent grasp of how Thai Boxing fits into the fast growing sport of Mixed Martial Arts.

Muay Thai or Thai Boxing is the preferred stand up art for most fighters that compete in arenas such as the UFC or Bellator. We have had numerous UFC / Bellator fighters that have enhanced their skills by training their Thai Boxing and Striking here.

2 seperate programs are employed to monitor your progress. Students may follow the traditional route of competing in amateur then professional bouts where they will compete with students from other gyms or those that wish to monitor development outside of the ring or cage may opt to follow our coloured grading system. This is similar in structure to that of other martial arts such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, where students are tested at regular intervals all the way through to instructor level which is the equivalent to Black Belts in these arts.

All Junior Classes are conducted using safe training practices and without head contact. Our instructors are all fully qualified and DBS checked to ensure that your children are being taught in the safest possible learning environment.
