Which class is right for me?
Intro/Foundation Classes:
Intro/Foundation classes are for those with little to no experience of Muay Thai/kickboxing. They promote a friendly atmosphere to welcome new comers to the sport and culture. Anyone can attend these classes.
General Classes:
General classes should be attended by those with good knowledge of the sport. They are more intense and complex and require a good/high level of fitness.
