 tructure:Warmup (10mins) everyone togetherIntroductions (names and pronoun
 s) class is split by levelMuay Thai training (strikes\, footwork\, defense
 ) partner work (40 mins)Fitness/games (5mins) everyone togetherStretching 
 (5mins)Everything you learn in these classes can be used in self defence\,
  however we do not run these classes with the aim of having to defend ours
 elves in mind. As a community we are already very hyper-vigilant and we do
  not need reminders that we might be in danger. Our approach to fitness:Yo
 ur best will always be enough. Please remember that it is okay and normal 
 to find exercise challenging\, it doesn’t mean you’re ‘bad at it’.
  It usually just means you’re pushing yourself or going out of your comf
 ort zone. Be gentle with yourself when things feel difficult and only push
  yourself within your window of tolerance (we do not make assumptions abou
 t what that looks like because it is different for everyone). We appreciat
 e that sometimes just turning up is an achievement (we’ve all been there
 ). Come as you are - you don't need to be ‘good at it’ or ‘be fit’
 . We understand everyone has their own relationships with bodies and exerc
 ise and these can often bring up complicated feelings from peoples past ex
 periences. We avoid cultures of toxic masculinity and fitness in our class
 es. We do this by encouraging you to listen to your body\, take breaks whe
 n you need it and try not to compare yourself to anyone else. You are not 
 going to be the only one struggling with something. Many feel that way.If 
 you are struggling with something\, give the coach a wave and let them kno
 w. We will suggest modifications or find another way to explain the moveme
 nts to you.We welcome queers of all abilities\, particularly those who don
 't feel at home in mainstream gyms. We don't tolerate transphobia\, fatpho
 bia\, ableism\, racism or fascism. NO COPS AND SOLDIERS IN OUR CLASSES. AC
