Each class starts with a gentle warm-up to get your body ready for movement and improve flexibility, balance, and coordination. You’ll then review essential Muay Thai techniques, including basic punches, kicks, elbows, and knees, as well as defensive movements and footwork. We focus on proper form and control so that you can practice safely while building confidence in your abilities.

The heart of the class is controlled, beginner-friendly sparring drills.
