Classes start with a light warm up and stretching, followed by drills and techniques involving elbows, punches, knees, kicks and clinch work.

"Absolutely fantastic! Taking beginners Muay Thai boxing classes. It's made my fitness steadily increase and I'm grateful for that! The instructor, Lewis Keen, is very tolerant of my sloppy fitness and appalling hand-eye coordination, so loads of motivation and reiteration without the slightest hint of annoyance. Classes have a good mix of students and it's a very friendly and positive environment."
