Muay Thai: A complete striking system
Muay Thai is one of the world’s most effective stand up martial arts, using punches, elbows, knees and shins in a flowing, practical way. The art builds timing, balance, fitness and confidence, and offers a disciplined but friendly training culture. Students from Truro often find Muay Thai more engaging than gym-based workouts because it develops real skill as well as fitness.
How Muay Thai stands out
- Full striking range: Techniques include punches, elbows, knees, kicks and checks.
- Close-quarters work: The clinch teaches control, balance and powerful knee strikes.
- Traditional roots: Muay Thai brings Thai culture, ritual and respect into each session.

Common questions
Do I need any experience?
No. Many of our Truro members began with zero martial arts experience. You’ll learn gradually and safely.
What should I bring?
Shorts and a T-shirt are ideal for your first visit. You’ll train barefoot on the mats, but you may want to bring a pair of slides for popping to the loo. If you already own gloves or wraps, bring them — but they’re not required to start.
We also have a small shop in the gym with gloves, wraps, shin guards and WAKT kit if you want to pick up anything later.
Will I have to spar?
No. Sparring is always optional. Many members never choose to spar and still enjoy every part of the training.
