Common questions

Can I start if I am unfit or new to martial arts?

Yes. Many people from Newquay begin with no previous training. We build you up gradually and work around your current fitness level.

Is it suitable for teenagers and young people?

Yes. Muay Thai can be excellent for focus, confidence and resilience. We will advise the best classes for age and experience when you message us.

What should I bring to my first session?

Comfortable sports clothing such as shorts and a T-shirt is ideal. You will train barefoot on the mats, and slides can be useful for moving around the building. If you already have gloves or wraps you can bring them, but you do not need any kit to get started.

WAKT has a small on-site shop with gloves, wraps, shin guards and WAKT kit if you decide to pick up equipment later.
