Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport and the striking art most fighters build on, because it uses everything: fists, elbows, knees and shins. That is where the name the art of eight limbs comes from. For most people walking into our gym it is also the single most satisfying workout available, because you are hitting things with correct technique instead of counting reps.

Class starts with a warm up and shadow work, moves into technique, then into rounds on Thai pads and bags with a partner. Holding pads is half the skill and you learn both sides. By the end you will have thrown a few hundred strikes, which is why nobody needs a separate cardio plan once they start training here.

Sparring exists and is completely optional. Plenty of members train Muay Thai for years purely on pads and bags for the conditioning and the technique. If you do want to spar, it is controlled, supervised and introduced slowly with the right gear. Nobody gets thrown to the wolves in their first month.

Kids Muay Thai runs as its own program with age appropriate contact and a heavy emphasis on discipline, coordination and following instruction. Combined with our jiu jitsu and judo programs it means a kid or adult in Murfreesboro can train striking and grappling in the same building on the same membership.
