Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have previous martial art experience to participate?

• No! Classes are divided into two groups, beginners and advanced, and you will be taught everything you need to know.

Can I come and watch training?

• Sure! The best way to see if you like it is to try it. You can come and attend a class to watch, or even try out the first two classes for FREE!.

Is training dangerous?

• No! First, you'll be training with protective gear, and then, most of the work is centered on technique and moves.

Do I need to be in very good physical condition to participate?

• Muay Thai is a demanding and complete martial art, which requires stamina, flexibility, and endurance - so you might find yourself training hard if you are out of shape - but everyone is allowed to follow his or her own pace (Yes you can skip push-ups!).

What gear do I need to attend a class?

• All you need for the beginner class is a t-shirt and shorts or workout pants. You can wear shoes for the warm-up if you wish, but bare feet should be used for the main portion of the class. If you need any other gear for the beginner class it will be provided by the club.

Is Muay Thai appropriate for women also?

• You bet! We have a good core of women in the club, and feature at least one female match every year in our annual tournament.

How long do I need to train before I can spar?

• We require that all students spend at least one quarter with the club before sparring. During this time it is expected that you learn how to control your attacks so that you can attack with control and avoiding hitting too hard.
