muay thai

Muay Thai or ‘thai boxing’ is a practical and exciting martial art, involving punching, kicking, knees and elbows. The class has a perfect blend of fitness and technique, meaning that it’s a great workout for complete beginners and seasoned fighters alike.

As its name suggests, the style was developed in Thailand centuries back, however it’s still very popular today due to:

  • The great self-defence it provides
  • The success it has had in fighting competitions, such as the UFC
  • Its high-energy training techniques making for a fun, rewarding and stress-busting workout

GU Muay Thai is part of Caledonian Muay Thai and we’re lucky at Glasgow to have experienced coaches who can help you to get what you want out of training, whether it’s throwing your first punch or winning your first fight! GU Muay Thai offers top level coaching at great value for money. The standard class involves pad work, strength building, aerobic fitness and the opportunity of sparring for those more interested in the fighting aspect of the sport.

The club is equally attended by guys and girls and enjoys a healthy social life with frequent trips to see fights, sample Glasgow’s finest Thai restaurants or just go out for a bit of laugh.
