The discipline

EIGHT LIMBS.
ONE DISCIPLINE.

Muay Thai is Thailand's national combat sport and one of the most complete striking systems in the world. It uses punches, kicks, knees and elbows, which is why it is called the art of eight limbs. At Switch Fitness the class is built for adults who want to learn the real technique, not just hit something until the timer runs out.

Kickboxing shares the same stand-up foundation: stance, footwork, combinations and defence. Sessions move between technique, pad work and conditioning. You will hear the same cues whether you are throwing your first jab or sharpening a fight camp round.

Who it is for

  • Adults who want a striking discipline with real technique.
  • People who want a hard, skill-based workout.
  • Students preparing for the MMA Fight Team.
  • Anyone who wants to learn to defend themselves standing up.

Every coach runs a class their own way. This is the general shape of a session — the exact drills, rounds and timing are set on the floor.

01

Warm-up

Footwork, skipping, shadow work and mobility to get the hips and shoulders ready to strike.

02

Technique

A focused block on stance, guard, one strike or a short combination, with coaching on the details.

03

Pads and partners

Gloves on. You drill the technique with a partner or on pads, then build it into longer combinations.

04

Conditioning

Bag rounds and bodyweight work close the session, followed by a cool-down.

Muay Thai · FAQ

BEFORE YOU COME IN.

Do I need experience to start?

No. Tell your coach it is your first class and they will start you on the fundamentals. Call or message us and we will point you to the right session.

What should I bring?

Water, comfortable training clothes and a towel. Ask us about gloves and wraps before your first class; the on-site pro shop stocks gear.

Is sparring required?

Ask your coach about the sparring policy for the class you attend. Technique and pad work come first, and you can train without competing.
