What Is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai is a striking martial art from Thailand that uses punches, kicks, elbows, and knees — plus clinch work that no other striking style teaches as thoroughly. It's the striking base used by most professional MMA fighters for a reason: it works at every range. New to the style? Read our Muay Thai for beginners guide for a deeper breakdown of what your first 30 days look like.
Our Muay Thai Program
Every class follows a consistent structure: warm-up and shadowboxing, technique instruction on pads and bags, partner drills, and conditioning rounds. You'll learn the full Muay Thai toolkit:
- Punches — jab, cross, hooks, and uppercuts with proper rotation
- Kicks — roundhouse, teep (push kick), and body kicks using shin contact
- Elbows and knees — close-range weapons drilled on Thai pads
- Clinch work — the standing grappling game unique to Muay Thai
- Defense — blocks, checks, parries, and footwork to avoid damage
Classes are coached, not open gym. Every round has a purpose, every session builds on the last.

Who Is Muay Thai For?
Beginners — no martial arts background needed. The class structure scales to your level, and coaches adjust pad rounds for each person. Fitness seekers — Muay Thai burns 600-800 calories per class while building functional strength you can't get on a treadmill. MMA crosstrainers — if you already train BJJ or wrestling, Muay Thai rounds out your stand-up game. Kids — we run a dedicated kids Muay Thai program with age-appropriate drills and no hard sparring.
What to Expect at Your First Class
Show up 10-15 minutes early. Wear athletic shorts and a t-shirt. Bring hand wraps and 16oz boxing gloves if you have them — we can loan you gloves for your first session. Classes start with shadowboxing to warm up, move into coached technique rounds on pads or bags, then finish with partner drills and conditioning. Intensity is moderate for beginners. Nobody is getting hit hard on day one.
