What Is Muay Thai for Kids?
Muay Thai is a striking martial art. Children learn stance, guard, footwork, punches and kicks.
They practise on pads with a coach or partner before joining movements into simple combinations.
The lesson is control. They learn when to strike, when to stop and how to listen.

-

-
Keep going when tired

-
Start with the basics
Beginners are shown the basics first. Nobody must arrive fit or know how to hold pads.
Is It Safe?
Children start with stance, footwork and pad drills. They wear gloves, and a coach controls every round.
There is no head contact in the children's sessions. Partners are matched carefully, and nobody is pushed into contact before they are ready.
My daughter and her friend trialled the older class in Thai Kick Boxing and they were put through their paces, and loved it.
