How Classes Are Run
Our Muay Thai classes are 1 hour that include a brief warm up, and then proceed directly into technique instruction. During instruction, you will work in pairs and practice the techniques that the coach has instructed. This gives the coach(s) the opportunity to walk around and assist, correct and help perfect your technique. The second portion of the class is pad work. You will either hold pads for your partner, or hit pads while your partner holds for you. When the class ends, you should feel exhausted, but awesome. These classes are beginner friendly as well as a great review for seasoned Muay Thai students!
Our Advanced Muay Thai classes are intended for people with 6 months or more experience. The class is designed to be minimal instruction. A hard Muay Thai warm up, followed by several rounds on either the Thai pads or heavy bag, followed by optional rounds of sparring.
​
Our 50 minute Conditioning class fuses advanced Muay Thai techniques with dynamic cardio and targeted stretching. The first half focuses on striking combinations using pads, switching back and forth with a partner matched to your experience level—whether you're here to sharpen your skills or just break a serious sweat. The second half kicks into a rotating cardio circuit designed to boost your endurance and push your limits. We finish with targeted stretching to hit those often-neglected muscles, helping you recover smarter and move better. While beginners are welcomed, this is a fast paced class meant for seasoned members of our Muay Thai and Fitness Kickboxing classes.
