Muay Thai Kickboxing
The ‘art of eight limbs’ – the national sport of Thailand, and our most popular training class at MKG!
In this class you will experience some heart rate raising, strength increasing, combative combinations – incorporating fists, shins, elbows and knees. Be prepared to have fun… and sweat!
The ‘go at your own pace’ structure of our classes means you make it as physically challenging as you want to – moderate for the beginner student, yet hard enough for even the most seasoned practitioner! Regardless, if you put the effort in, you’ll soon appreciate this art’s amazing fat burning and body conditioning capabilities, without the drudgery of the treadmill or weights room!
What to expect
We utilise glove drills, focus mitt training and Thai pad workouts to explore the range of striking tools within the art – from long range kicks to short range elbows. You will learn the nuances of this martial art through analysis of granular techniques, to full impact workouts on the pads.
We’re not focused on generating fighters for the ring – so don’t be concerned that you might limp home with bruises and broken bones – but you should expect a full body workout that gets the blood pumping, with the capacity to apply techniques in a self-defence context!
Class times
Tues & Thurs: 8-9pm
Beginners sessions run in parallel with the regular class, to give newcomers focused attention.
What you should bring
Equipment is provided, but we recommend you buy your own gloves after the first few weeks (the club ones can, er, hum a bit!). ‘Bag gloves’ are sufficient, but 14oz+ boxing gloves are more versatile (especially if you progress to sparring sessions). Fingerless (MMA-style) gloves should be avoided for these classes – they offer less protection, and the open fingertips are prone to wander into eyes…
