What to expect from the sessions: This four-week course will provide a safe, supportive space to learn the foundations of Muay Thai. Over the sessions, you will learn the essential building blocks of 'The Art of Eight Limbs', starting with the basic stance and footwork. You will progressively learn the core strikes (punches, kicks, knees and elbows) and how to execute these with proper forms in padwork and partner drills. The course will cover these techniques into basic combinations and incorporate essential defense work into these. You will also be introduced to the clinch, which is a unique aspect of Muay Thai and differentiates it from other combat sports like kickboxing. By the end of the course, you will have the confidence to perform a variety of techniques, understand how to combine attack and defence and possess a foundational skill set that will allow you to join any general level Muay Thai class!
