My child is a complete beginner, can they join?
Our Muay Thai classes are for children 4 to 16 years old.
The classes are is split into 3 groups, "minis", "beginners/intermediate" and "advanced" for our technique part of the class. This way our coaches can tailor the technique to your Childs age and development. Meaning the advanced juniors ones do more advanced techniques and sparring, while the beginners/intermediate focusing on the fundamentals as well as kicks, knees and punches.
Will my child get hit in the face?
At our Muay Thai gym, we prioritise safety and skill-building over everything else. Our classes are low-contact, and we focus on developing a variety of skills, as well as strength and conditioning. Once your child is competent at Muay Thai, we will allow them to spar with the proper protection and guidance.
For children under 12 years old, we only do body sparring and no strikes to the face/head.
Do you have a children's competition team?
We do! They train 3-5 times a week including our Friday sparring session. If your child is interested in competing please speak to one of our Muay Thai coaches.
My child wants to compete. Do you offer this?
We have a process for this to ensure your child is ready with the correct skills to strike and most importantly; defend themselves.
What do I bring and wear to my first class?
If you own boxing gloves then bring them along, if not we have some you can hire. Wear comfortable active wear. Muay Thai is done barefoot so not specific shoes are required. Once your child has enrolled in the class, you will need to purchase a uniform.
