Our Mixed Martial Arts and  Muay Thai Program is for ages 13 and up. Muay Thai Kickboxing, also known as Thai Boxing or The Art of the Eight Limbs has become the main “Striking” Art the athletes in the UFC practice. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art.  Students participate in a structured, interactive program that includes a 15-minute warmup that is designed to increase strength, stamina, coordination, and focus.  After the warm-up, the instructors will demonstrate 2-3 combinations that students drill using Thai pads and heavy bags. Next, students are paired to train technique while having their partner block and counter. While partner work is being done Coach Cody will work one on one with students, for rounds, to work on techniques they can practice while not doing one on one time with Coach Cody. As students progress in their knowledge and confidence in the sport, we introduce them to controlled, technical sparring.  These controlled sparring sessions are a lot of fun and provide the foundation for students that choose to compete. 

​

We also allow you to drop into the dojo for the MMA/Muay Thai class and not participate in the structured program. You may bring your own pads and equipment and a partner to work on your own techniques you may have learned from other dojos.  We always encourage cross-training and visiting other dojos to train with people you have never trained with before to help you stay alert and take you out of your comfort zone from your regular training program to grow! This is why cross training is so beneficial.
