Program
Traditional Muay Thai training
Muay Thai Battle Conquer Gym focuses on developing fighters of all ages and abilities in a traditional Muay Thai environment. Head trainer Pau has been fighting since the age of four and has a wealth of knowledge across all levels from complete beginners to our professional fighters. Starting out or looking to get fit? We will encourage you with our passion for the sport, fresh clean food and healthy living. Looking to fight professionally? We develop our champions by improving their skills, gaining experience at the local level and eventually fighting in Bangkok on the biggest stages for Muay Thai.
To maintain this high standard of training Muay Thai Battle Conquer Gym accepts a limited number of fighters at any one time to ensure students are getting enough attention to excel. You can expect to train as a group alongside your peers, we've found this the best way to train as it encourages motivation and builds relationships. That said we have six full time coaches so you will have plenty of one on one time within the scheduled classes.
Western boxing
While the focus is on traditional Muay Thai, Muay Thai Battle Conquer Gym cross-trains fighters in western boxing. The fighting styles complement one another and give an extra edge. We also train exclusively in western boxing and organise prize fights for western style boxers. -Strength and conditioning.
Although Muay Thai is an incredible workout, fighters and hobbyists alike can benefit from supplemental strength and conditioning. This can help to improve power and stamina, reduce the risk of injuries and achieve weight-loss goals more quickly.
Muay Thai Battle Conquer Gym has equipment ready for you to use in your free time such as climbing ropes, custom pull ups, weights, bars and pullies.
Training methods.
We implement bodyweight exercise and strength and conditioning during your boxing sessions to develop functional strength and all round fitness. Some of the training methods we may use are:
- High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
