The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand, often called the art of eight limbs because it uses punches, elbows, knees and kicks. In a children's class, kids learn a proper stance, basic strikes and footwork, then practise them on pads held by a coach, usually with plenty of games mixed in to keep younger ones focused. There is no hitting each other in a beginners' kids class; the aim is technique, fitness and control. Along the way children build coordination, balance, stamina and confidence, and learn the respect and discipline that come with a traditional martial art. Many gyms take children from around four or five, once they can follow a coach's instructions in a group.

Who it's for

Children aged 4 to 11, according to the gym's kids' Muay Thai page; the gym says the right starting age depends on a child's maturity and generally recommends starting around 4. Complete beginners are welcome. The homepage membership card labels kids' Muay Thai 'Ages 5-14', so if your child is 12 or older, ask the gym which class fits.

What to expect

A kids' class lasts about 45 minutes. The gym says sessions combine traditional Muay Thai techniques with fun, game-based activities, positive reinforcement and lessons in respect and discipline, and that there is no sparring in the kids' programme: the focus is basic technique in a controlled setting. Basic gloves, pads and protective gear are provided for your child's first class, so they only need sportswear and water. The first class is a free trial with no pressure to sign up afterwards; book it on WhatsApp. When you arrive, building security will direct you to the lift for the 39th floor.
