About Muay Thai
Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport and combat art, dating back several centuries as a battlefield fighting system. Known as the "Art of Eight Limbs," Muay Thai utilises fists, elbows, knees and shin kicks as weapons, making it one of the most comprehensive striking systems in the world.
Modern Muay Thai has become the world's leading striking discipline and is a core component of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). DoBu's programme covers technical pad work, bag training, partner drilling and (for those interested) light sparring. Both complete beginners and experienced strikers train together in a supportive, structured environment.
Muay Thai offers exceptional cardiovascular conditioning, full-body muscular development and rapid improvements in coordination and striking power. Sessions regularly sell out, booking through the member dashboard is recommended.
