Near Lake Alfred, FL
While we don't offer a boxing-only program, our Muay Thai & Kickboxing classes cover everything boxing teaches — plus kicks, elbows, knees, and clinch work for a more complete striking system.
Why Many Boxers Cross-Train in Muay Thai
Boxing is one of the most refined striking arts in the world — known for its footwork, head movement, and devastating hand speed. If you're looking for boxing training in Central Florida, you already understand the value of quality striking instruction. At Gracie Barra Davenport, our Muay Thai and Kickboxing program includes all of boxing's core techniques — jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, footwork, and defensive head movement.
What Muay Thai adds to the boxing toolkit is significant: kicks (low, body, and head), knees and elbows at close range, and clinch work — the ability to control an opponent in a standing grapple. Many professional boxers cross-train in Muay Thai to develop a more complete striking game, and Muay Thai fighters are known for having some of the most powerful punches in combat sports.
At Gracie Barra Davenport, our striking program combines Muay Thai fundamentals with kickboxing and boxing technique. You'll train on heavy bags, Thai pads, focus mitts, and with partners in controlled sparring — developing real striking ability, not just fitness. Classes run 6 days a week for kids (6+) and adults (14+).
