Juniors

Junior students can develop a large range of athletic qualities. The children can form new habits that conveniently fit in with their routine, boost confidence and make them feel fantastic.  Patriot Gym is here to help your child develop a healthy and sustainable approach to improving their health and fitness for today and tomorrow.

  • Children learn self-control in martial arts through structured environments that teach them to channel energy, follow rules, and focus on tasks. Our kids classes incorporates traditional Muay Thai techniques, games and activities to engage your child and develop life skills.  
  • The classes are a great way to burn energy, have fun and make new friends! No experience is necessary. The classes are designed to be high energy, confidence building, technical and fun! Get your child to learn Muay Thai where classes are fitness and technique based with a bit of fun thrown in! 
 

How quickly they will progress in learning Muay Thai depends mainly on them. How much time they commit to training. How coachable they are, and how well they listen to their coach. Some kids train three times  a week plus practicing everyday so there’s constant progression, whereas others will only practice during our two sessions or even one session.. so the learning curve isn’t as steep! There is no right or wrong. Be patient. Results can take time, but they will happen.

Women Only

Why not Join our amazing bunch of women and become more active by taking small steps whenever you want, in ways that work for you.  

  • We are proud of our safe  sessions and share the hard work we do only in a positive light!
 

When training, any negative/judgemental thinking must be kept away from Patriot Gym! Leave it in the past, outside the door, away from our classes. 

  • “You can always tell who the strong women are. They are the ones you see building one another up, instead of tearing each other down!” 
  • Muay Thai gym spaces can be a very empowering and supportive environments if created and shared as that. It’s a huge amount of fun and I can assure you that it won’t be all hard work.
  • While training, you come into each others personal space. First off, none of us like it when our personal space is invaded by strangers. (You won’t be strangers for long ).  

 

Allowing people you don’t know well into your personal space (e.g holding onto each other in pairs work or as a team etc..) can be incredibly uncomfortable or even intimidating for many. This is a hurdle for some in mixed classes, as there has to be a level of comfort and trust that this touching and invasion of space will not be abused by partners. I totally imagine as this is a women’s only class, we should not have this dilemma.

Our Muay Thai family is ever growing with new members joining all the time. Patriot Gym classes are beginner friendly and your training is organised to be progressively challenging; so you can go at your own pace. Instructor’s adaptation of drills for different experience levels within same Muay Thai class means beginners and experienced students can benefit greatly as this provides physical and mental conditioning for all levels, while also building confidence, discipline, and a sense of community. The beginners learn fundamental techniques like punches, kicks, and elbow strikes, while experienced members can help them and work on their own skills. (Advanced classes also running)
