More Information about the Warrior Program.

Muay Thai is one of the toughest sports in the world. As a martial art it is unparralled for effectiveness, practicality, and physical challenges. Doing Muay Thai as a sport will develop your physical and mental strength and get you fitter than you have ever been. You will learn to stand up for yourself and bullies will stay away from you.

It is not easy, not a given and is a rigorous process. It only works if you take it seriously and train regularly over a long period of time. It is a contact sport and requires a deliberate development program and disciplined training. If you want a challenge that will develop toughness and confidence, then try Muay Thai but be prepared for challenges, hard work, strict training, physical contact, routine physicality, and a rigorous approach to development that isn’t all unicorns and rainbows.

It is great fun, very rewarding and develops pride through achievement, setbacks and overcoming challenges. If you are a fit kid, athletic, love exercise, want challenges and want to improve your self then consider giving it a go. It won’t come easy and will take time but if you want to work hard in a disciplined teamwork environment that focuses on results then come and try.

If any child has a diagnosed disorder or any physical or mental health issues, they will be required to get specialist medical approval before participating in any of our programs. The training environment is a keep up program that requires a high level of physical ability and has routine (and confronting) psychological challenges in all program’s.
