Muay Thai for Bodmin residents
Muay Thai is a complete stand up striking art from Thailand that uses punches, kicks, elbows, knees and clinch work. It builds balance, conditioning and confidence and sits well alongside other martial arts such as boxing or kickboxing. People travel from Bodmin and mid Cornwall to WAKT because they want clear coaching, proper pad work and a team that supports all levels.

Common questions
Do I need previous martial arts experience?
No. Many students from Bodmin and the surrounding area start with no experience. We teach stance, guard and basic movement step by step.
Is it only for fighters?
No. Most people train for fitness, confidence and enjoyment. Some choose to compete, but there is no pressure to fight.
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 can bring slides for moving around the building. If you have your own gloves or wraps you can bring them, but they are not required.
There is also a small shop at the gym with gloves, wraps, shin guards and WAKT kit available if you decide to pick up equipment later.
