Common questions

Can I start with no experience?

Yes. Many people from St Ives begin with no background in Muay Thai or any martial art. We teach you from the ground up.

What clothing should I wear?

Shorts and a T-shirt are ideal. You’ll train barefoot on the mats, but bringing a pair of slides makes getting around easier. If you already have gloves or wraps, bring them — but you don’t need any special equipment to start.

There is also a small shop at the gym where you can buy gloves, wraps, shin guards and WAKT kit once you're ready.

Is sparring compulsory?

No. Sparring is optional and only introduced once you have built enough confidence and experience.
