Thai Boxing

What is it?

Thai Boxing, sometimes referred to as Muay Thai, is a combat sport that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This discipline is known as the "art of eight limbs", as it is characterised by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins.

Class Structure

Coaches cover a theme that progresses in each class across the course of a week (eg. clinch work). 50% of class time is spent drilling and 50% participating in live sparring. Sparring rounds are 5 minutes each with a 30 second break to change partners.
