We're an elite sports club that also caters for recreational athletes. This means that we have people who train at all different levels together and are inspired by each other under the same roof. We are affiliated to the Swedish Muaythai Federation.

What is Muaythai?

Muaythai/thaiboxing is the national sport of Thailand. it is a full contact sport with a long history and a lot of tradition. It is not only an effective fighting system but also a fun, challenging and effective form of exercise. Whether you want to get in the best shape of your life or dream of stepping into the ring and fighting yourself, Muay Thai is the training for you. In Muay Thai we use the whole body; boxing, kicking, knees, elbows and clinch. You develop strength, agility, fitness, explosiveness and also a mental strength that is hard to beat.

Manners & etiquette

We are always respectful to each other, we help each other and stand up when needed. Before and after sessions we greet each other and after the session we clean the training area after us. We arrive in good time for the sessions, wrap hands before starting the session, listen to the instructor, do not go and drink in the middle of rounds and are quick in round rest with changes of mitts holders and the like.
We train with clean clothes and freshly cut nails, without jewellery and earrings.
If you are late for the session, you sign up with the coach. The same applies if you have to go earlier, then this is announced before the start of the session.
If you have injuries, it is important to inform the instructor before starting the session for information. Welcome, we look forward to seeing you!

Competition

We put a great focus on our competing athletes and aim to maintain a high quality of all our fighters. It is ONLY Team members or personally invited by the head coach who are entitled to participate in the sessions called ‘Fighters Only’ on the schedule.
