  We will have a lot of fun hitting things. It's going to be sweaty\, techn
 ical and at times hard. After the warmup the class will be split into this
  intro and intermediate level. In intro class you will learn all the basic
 s of Muay Thai. You will not get hit in the face at this stage so no need 
 to worry about that. You will be provided with pads to hit/kick and gloves
  to do all the hitting with. General level class: bring gumshield as you m
 ight get hit in the face occasionally. You will practice more advanced tec
 hniques and sparring drills.Every week we will go over different strikes\,
  clinching techniques\, movements and defences. We approach exercise playf
 ully and with community building in mind. What you need to bring:Comfortab
 le trainers. The venue has wooden floors\, please bring trainers.Deodorant

 ng after your own personal hygiene. Shower before class if you can but if

 ) everyone togetherIntroductions (names and pronouns) class is split by le
 velMuay Thai training (strikes\, footwork\, defense) partner work (40 mins
 )Fitness/games (5mins) everyone togetherStretching (5mins)Everything you l
 earn in these classes can be used in self defence\, however we do not run 
 these classes with the aim of having to defend ourselves in mind. As a com
 munity we are already very hyper-vigilant and we do not need reminders tha
 t we might be in danger. Our approach to fitness:Your best will always be 
 enough. Please remember that it is okay and normal to find exercise challe
 nging\, it doesn’t mean you’re ‘bad at it’. It usually just means 
 you’re pushing yourself or going out of your comfort zone. Be gentle wit
 h yourself when things feel difficult and only push yourself within your w
 indow of tolerance (we do not make assumptions about what that looks like 
 because it is different for everyone). We appreciate that sometimes just t
 urning up is an achievement (we’ve all been there). Come as you are - yo
 u don't need to be ‘good at it’ or ‘be fit’. We understand everyon
 e has their own relationships with bodies and exercise and these can often
  bring up complicated feelings from peoples past experiences. We avoid cul
 tures of toxic masculinity and fitness in our classes. We do this by encou
 raging you to listen to your body\, take breaks when you need it and try n
 ot to compare yourself to anyone else. You are not going to be the only on
 e struggling with something. Many feel that way.If you are struggling with
  something\, give the coach a wave and let them know. We will suggest modi
 fications or find another way to explain the movements to you.We welcome q
 ueers of all abilities\, particularly those who don't feel at home in main
 stream gyms. We don't tolerate transphobia\, fatphobia\, ableism\, racism 
 or fascism. NO COPS AND SOLDIERS IN OUR CLASSES. ACCESSIBILITY:Mulberry Ha

  9PL)\, features full step-free access. The venue has a narrowest door wid
 th of 87cm and provides accessible toilet facilities. Dog friendlyIf you h
