What will you learn at a beginner’s Muay Thai class?
As a beginner, you will first learn the technique of the punches. The jab and the cross are the best-known punches. These are then followed by elbow strikes. Once you get the hang of this you will begin pedaling. For this, you get to wear shin guards. The great thing about the training is that you learn the technique well, but you are also tested physically. For example, you often have to do various strength exercises in between and the workout ends with a spirited round of as many punches and kicks as possible.
What does a Muay Thai Training in Thailand cost?
A group lesson usually costs around 300 – 500 baht (€8 – 13). For this money, you will get 1 to 1.5 hours of lessons with others and will also spar quietly (if you are no longer a beginner). If you want a private lesson you should count on 800 – 1,000 baht (€ 22 – 25) for 1 to 1.5 hours. Many Muay Thai training venues you see below also offer a one-week package. Then you get accommodation for a week, Muay Thai training twice a day and 2 to 3 meals a day. This is all inclusive. These week packages usually cost between 12,000 and 15,000 baht (€330 – 420).
