Yousfi Muaythai & Fitness is a Muay Thai and kickboxing gym on the ground floor of the Emarat Atrium Building. It is the academy's Business Bay branch; the other is in Dubai Marina. It was founded by Amin Yousfi, whom the academy describes as a Muay Thai world champion and six-time national champion with more than 20 years in the sport. Most of the timetable is adult Muay Thai, but the academy also runs a Kids' Academy, which it says is built around age-appropriate training, character building and a safe environment. At this branch, the posted timetable shows Kids Muay-Thai on Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30pm and Saturday at 12:30pm, with Teens Muay-Thai straight after (5:30pm on weekdays, 1:30pm on Saturday). The website doesn't give the ages for each group or any fees, so message the Business Bay team before you go. First-timers can ask for a free day pass through the website. The gym is rated 5.0 on Google from 202 reviews.

The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Muay Thai is Thailand's national combat sport, often called 'the art of eight limbs' because it uses punches, kicks, elbows and knees. In a children's class the focus is technique, not fighting: kids learn stance, footwork, punches and kicks on pads and bags, along with balance, flexibility and conditioning drills. Good junior classes keep contact light and controlled, and use games to hold younger children's attention. Parents often choose it for fitness, confidence and focus, and for the discipline and respect the sport is known for. Any sparring comes later and should be closely supervised. Starting ages vary from club to club, so check each academy's age groups before booking.

Who it's for

Children and teenagers who want to try Muay Thai, including complete beginners. The Business Bay timetable has separate Kids Muay-Thai and Teens Muay-Thai classes, but the academy doesn't publish the age range for each group, so ask which one suits your child. Parents can train too: adult Muay Thai runs on weekday evenings, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, and on Saturday late morning.

What to expect

The academy says every class includes a warm-up, technique training, pad work and a cool-down. To try it first, the website offers a free day pass: fill in the form on the homepage with your name, email and WhatsApp number. The offer is described as no commitment, with access to all classes. It doesn't say whether the pass covers the kids' and teens' classes, so check when the team replies. Kit and clothing for a first session aren't listed, so ask the provider what your child should wear and bring. Classes are booked through the Glofox app, or you can call or WhatsApp the Business Bay number.
