What Makes Our Instruction Unique?

We have to stress that this is not a cardio kickboxing class. We place an emphasis on proper form and the effective application of strikes and combinations that work. Some of the combinations we teach have been tried and tested in actual fights or during live sparring. While we do not offer a cardio kickboxing class, you will undoubtedly work up a sweat in our classes.

What's the Difference Between Glove Drilling & Pad Work?

Glove drilling involves wearing only gloves and shin guards, whereas pad work requires a partner to use pads to hit. Pad work is for technical practice, whereas glove drilling is the technical application without having to spar. Glove drilling provides a dynamic aspect to the learning process since people move and react differently than when holding pads.

When Do I Get To Spar?

The answer is very dependent on the individual. If you have previous striking experience, the head Coach (Devin) will decide whether you are fit for joining in Friday night sparring. Those who are absolutely new to striking will need to learn fundamental techniques and demonstrate in class that they are ready to spar. This is a standard we have set to ensure everyone's safety.

Am I supposed to wear those flashy shorts?

If you've watched any Muay Thai videos (on social media or live events), you'll see short flashy looking bottoms on every fighter. At our gym, we have levels (like ranks) and Muay Thai shorts are earned through testing or through fighting. You can save yourself the money and skip ordering the Muay Thai shorts if you're brand new. Normal workout clothes are perfect.

Requirements for Attending Class

Wondering what you need to bring? If you sign up for our Free Trial, standard workout clothes are perfect. If you have boxing gloves and shin guards, please bring those in. Otherwise, we do have gear you can use. To maintain good hygiene, we require you to purchase your own gloves and shin guards upon joining. Jewelry and piercings stay off the mats to protect yourself and training partners.
