Why Muay Thai?

Muay Thai, known as the "Art of Eight Limbs," is a dynamic martial art that combines striking techniques using fists, elbows, knees, and shins. Beyond its effectiveness in self-defense, Muay Thai offers a full-body workout that enhances strength, agility, and mental resilience.

At Tiger Muay Thai Singapore, we welcome beginners with open arms. Whether you're aiming to get fit, learn self-defense, or explore a new hobby, our classes in Pasir Panjang and Raffles Place are designed to guide you every step of the way.

At Tiger Muay Thai Singapore, we offer rental options for gloves and shin guards, allowing you to try out the sport before making a full investment. 

What to Expect in Your First Class as a Muay Thai Beginner

Your initial class will introduce you to:

• Warm-Up Exercises: To prepare your body and prevent injuries

• Shadow Boxing: This is where your trainers will check your form and techniques

• Pad Work: Where you will sweat the most and spend more one to one time with a trainer, striking kick pads with full power

• Bag Work: Freestyle on the bag to practice combos, or drilling kick or knee reps

• Sparring: Trying out techniques such as attacks and defense with a live partner. This is done in a controlled environment without hitting hard so as not to cause injury to your partner.

• Cool Down: Stretching and recovery to end the session.

Our trainers provide personalized attention, ensuring you understand each movement and technique.

Tips for Success as a Muay Thai Beginner

• Ask Questions: Don't hesitate to seek clarification from your trainer.
