Why choose Phoenix for Muay Thai-kickboxing & Martial Arts?

We do Muay Thai as a sport and it awesome for fitness and self defence. We know how nervous it can be to join and start classes and we will look after you, to get you started.

You do a TRIAL week/class to start. This is a introductory period will give you an overview and good foundations. 

Phoenix is a great place to train if you are the sort of person who wants to be good at what they do and achieve their goals through hard work and commitment. We have 29 + years of results and the depth and authentic training that will work for you, if you turn up and have a go.

It is not all unicorns, roses, SM poses and easy compliments. You will earn every step through a disciplined, structured, and proven system. You will develop pride in your achievements through sweat, tears and grinding challenges beside your teammates.

As a Phoenix member, you should train consistently. You should do a three session a week plus an additional 2 running/cardio/other sport session. If you only make 2 classes a week, you need to exercise on other days or your fitness will not improve. 

We expect you turn up on time, with a positive can-do hard work attitude, pay your training fees on time and always turn up for the team. Other people are relying on you. We expect you to not come if you are sick but if you are injured or tired, turn up, we can adjust the training, or you can learn by watching.

Discipline and routine are key. Make the choice to train and say no to distractions. We will guide your ambitions and coach and assist you but in the end it is up to you. Its the 1000 little decisions you make every day that will make you better. TURN UP.

Phoenix has a world class club house in Mitchell, ACT. (with 24hr access)

29+ years ago Phoenix opened the first full time Kickboxing and Muay Thai in club in the ACT. For 29+ years we have had a full time facility and a constantly growing commercial operation covering many combat sports. We have had many versions much much bigger and famous but now we are specialised and serious about training. We focus on Muay Thai and do it well.

Our facility is world class and our most focused facility ever. We are doing this because we are specialised, unique and provide world class training with no interest in massive numbers, saying yes to everyone, base line average performances. Sorry, we are not insta famous and don’t aim to grow egos. We actually do not lalow people to use their phones in the gym! 

If you want to be coached well and honestly, train with a great group of committed people – Phoenix is worth a try.

SHOULD I START? > mmm, I don’t know if you should! Phoenix trains hard and has a high level of integrity in all training. We are not a drop-in fitness centre or suitable for vain people that want to film themselves for Instagram.  We are nice, friendly, normal people but we don’t bend to your needs or beliefs. You are joining Phoenix and that’s a privilege. We coach you to improve and ensure you know what you are doing, for reality, not for your member fees. We won’t fill you with platitudes and don’t exist for your whims. We won’t teach you to ‘look like’ you know how to fight, to look good on the bag and tell your mates you do Muay Thai. We will teach you to fight and how to toughen up and cope with being punched in the face. This takes learning to work hard, to suffer, and to get hit without being a sook. We don’t care about your excuses. We won’t compliment you, hug you or be your Mum. We will teach you to be responsible for yourself and to be proud. Most people quit because it is too hard and that will probably be you, unless you seriously want to be tougher mentally and physically. We don’t know how long we will be open for, but you don’t know how long you were going to be here for either. If you still want to try the Phoenix way, then just jump in.  We will give you a memorable time and teach you lifelong skills regardless of how long it lasts..
