Thai Boxing Classes in Penge (Muay Thai for All Levels)

What is Thai Boxing?

Thai Boxing — also known as Muay Thai — is a striking-based martial art from Thailand that uses punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and clinch work. Known as the “Art of Eight Limbs,” it’s a powerful and technical combat sport ideal for building fitness, confidence, and fighting skill.

Our Thai Boxing classes in Penge focus on correct technique, timing, power, and ring control, suitable for both beginners and advanced students.

What to Expect in Class

Each class is based around a specific weekly theme — such as elbows in the clinch, body kicks, or combination striking. Classes combine pad work, technical drills, and live rounds under the guidance of experienced coaches.

Students will develop offensive and defensive striking skills, as well as conditioning and ring awareness in a controlled and welcoming environment.

Class Types

  • Fundamentals – Focused on basic stance, movement, and core techniques. Perfect for beginners or those refining their foundation.

  • Mixed Levels – Open to all, with a blend of technical drills, combinations, and sparring for students of varying experience levels.

What You’ll Need

  • Mouthguard – Required for sparring.

  • Boxing gloves & shin pads – Recommended for regular training.

  • Clothing – Comfortable sportswear or Muay Thai shorts.

    (No zips or pockets for safety.)

If you’re attending a trial session, equipment can be provided — just bring water and a good attitude.
