What kind of equipment do I need?
The club has extra equipment available for people to borrow, but sometimes there may not be enough for everyone. If you have your own gear, you should bring gloves, shin guards, and Thai pads, but these aren’t required to participate in class.
I have no martial arts experience, can I still join the club?
Yes! The club is beginner-friendly and open to people of all experience levels.
What is training like?
We train a lot of kickboxing in this club, so our practices almost always include hitting Thai pads, especially on Wednesdays. We drill with partners at controlled paces with very specific goals in mind. Sparring will always be optional and a lot of people stick around after class to spar or drill.
