What Muay Thai Is

The art of eight limbs.

Muay Thai uses eight weapons: two fists, two elbows, two knees, and two shins. It is the national sport of Thailand.
Every strike has a right way to throw it. Feet set, hips turned, hands back up. You practice it until it is clean, then you make it fast.
Clean first. Fast second. Hard third.
★★★★★
"I came in with zero martial arts experience, just looking for a good workout and a healthy outlet for stress, and I have gained so much more than I expected. I have never felt stronger, both mentally and physically."

How Every Class Runs

Every class runs on a plan.

01

Learn it

A coach shows one technique and breaks it into steps.

02

Hit it

You throw it on pads held by a partner, round after round.

03

Build it

Conditioning is built into the training, so fitness comes with skill.

No standing around. Every minute has a job.

Already Trained?

Sharpen what you already have.

Any class on the schedule is open from day one. Bring what you know and make it cleaner and faster. Your first week is free too.

Interested in MMA?

Every fight starts on the feet.

Muay Thai teaches you to strike standing up. Jiu Jitsu teaches you what to do on the ground. All Access gets you both for one monthly price.
