All have won major Thai titles such as the Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadium Championships. As many have also worked intercontinentally, you are in perfect hands with them as a foreigner.

Program & classes

The Tiger Muay Thai Gym offers you a comprehensive training program for various martial arts and fitness options. In addition to Muay Thai, this includes Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Kickboxing (K1) and Traditional Western Boxing. As our customers have come to expect from our first-rate Muay Thai gyms, your level of experience does not play a role here either. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced fighter, you can pursue your goals. In this regard, the Tiger Gym offers three different course programs.

…or in a sparring match with your gym partner. This way you train reflexes, offense and defense techniques.

As a newcomer in martial arts, you can start with the beginner program. Our trainers will introduce you to the basics of Muay Thai, such as stance, footwork, attack and defense techniques. By working with pads, sandbags, sparring and cardio exercises, you can also gain the necessary fitness. The intermediate program has a slightly higher intensity and also includes complex techniques and combinations. If you already have a good amount of experience in Muay Thai, you can participate in the advanced program. The training of fighting fitness and ring skills is the perfect preparation for professional fighting.

There are also units dedicated to ancient Thai martial arts. Muay Boran is considered the predecessor of Muay Thai and specializes in additional techniques, such as utilizing all kinds of striking attacks as well as joint locks, throws and even ground grappling. Historical Fun Fact: The most famous Muay Boran fighter was Nai Khanom Tom. In 1774 he fought the 10 best Burmese fighters one after the other, knocking them all out. Nowadays he is considered to be the father of Muay Thai.

The fighting style Krabi Krabong is a weapons-based martial art. It uses everyday objects as melee weapons for easily applicable self-defense.

If your main goals are to burn calories, improve fitness or build muscle, you can join the BodyFit and CrossTraining classes. Here you will use body-weight exercises and fitness equipment. The twice-weekly outdoor program is particularly fun. During the Phuket Big Buddha Run, you will get to know one of Phuket's main attractions. From the plateau of the third largest statue in Thailand, you have a breathtaking view of the towns and beaches during the joint run. If you are then drawn to the beach, take part in the beach boot camp. Your fitness training will reach a whole new level at one of the spectacular Thai coastal resorts, such as Nai Harn Beach.

It is 45 meters high, made of concrete and decorated with beautiful white marble. Situated on a mountain, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view.
