Our new beginner-friendly Intro Course starts this September. Every person who has done martial arts has started in the exact same spot: with no experience and a little bit of courage. Starting something new can be intimidating: trying to learn a new skill in an unfamiliar environment is no small undertaking. That’s why we created our Muay Thai Foundations Program, an 8-session course designed to provide a beginner-friendly introduction to Muay Thai and Kickboxing: No exper

Everybody loves the beginning. The excitement of something, perhaps something you’ve always wanted to try–and now, you’re finally doing it. You start sweating, you learn some techniques, you feel yourself getting better every session. Then around the third or fourth month, something happens. You don’t feel like you’re improving as fast.

Improper recovery can lead to poor overall health, subpar training sessions, and heighten the risk of injury. Whether you're a competitor or casual hobbyist, you can set yourself up for success and be smart about your recovery with these top recovery components. #1: Sleep As far as recovery implements go, nothing comes close to quality sle

From the outside, fighting looks like an individual sport. One person walks into the ring. One person gets their hand raised. One person gets the spotlight. But anybody who’s spent time in a real gym knows that’s not how it works. Every fighter is built by a team: The training partners who hold pads when they’re tired. The teammate willing to take damage and push the pace in sparring. The coach who sees things the fighter can’t see. The beginner who reminds the experienced
