All Levels Muay Thai Class

Monday - Friday
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

In this 90 minute class you’ll learn everything from basic to advanced technique in a structured format. Beginners and advanced train together, and the training is scaled to each students level.

A typical class includes drills, bag work, sparring and clinching- daily. If you’re a beginner, you’ll work on drills or modified sparring instead of sparring until you’re ready.

Class sizes are capped at 10 students so you get plenty of attention, not just a number in a crowded class.

What we don’t do: random combos, pointless exercises to wear you out, or any fluff to waste time. The training is dialed in, deliberate, results- driven, and the goal is for you to learn and develop in every single class, not just get a workout.

What Makes 8 Tribe Different

We focus on quality over quantity. Every student, no matter their level, gets holistic coaching: mental, physical, lifestyle- whatever they need to thrive. The training format is a blend of east and west: part structure, part flexibility. Coach Ronnie has designed this to be the optimal blend for faster progress.

At 8 Tribe we value longevity, and so you take no unnecessary damage. Training can be high intensity- but safe and smart. No wasted minutes- training is efficient. We only focus on high return work.
