Muay Thai Classes in Tweed Heads

Where It All Comes Together

Our Muay Thai class covers every part of the sport: striking, defence, clinching, pads and drills. This is where everything you've learned comes together and you discover the full extent of Muay Thai, the Art of Eight Limbs. It's coached by head coach Dave McIntosh and the DM Muay Thai & Fitness team, with the same no-ego approach as every class we run.

What You Will Train

Every session works on the whole game, not just one piece of it.

Striking With All Eight Limbs

Punches, kicks, knees and elbows, set up and combined with good technique. Using all eight limbs is what makes Muay Thai different from other stand-up styles.

Defence

Blocks, kick checks, parries and movement, so you can protect yourself and counter with control.

The Clinch

Muay Thai is fought up close as well as at range. You'll learn clinch positions, control, balance and knees, one of the most distinctive skills in the sport.

Pads and Drills

Technique only sticks when it's tested.

Pad Rounds

Pad work puts your combinations together with timing, power and pace, and shows you exactly where your technique needs work.

Technical Drills

Partner drills build timing, distance and reactions. That's the fight IQ that turns single techniques into real Muay Thai.

Technique Over Ego

Everyone works hard, but nobody is here to hurt their partner. Control and technique come first, so you can keep training and keep improving.
