Tickets for Zels fight are at the gym now. Cash only.
Don't count on door sales- it's one of the best shows in the country and always sells out.

So sometimes you don't need many entries to win! Managing to beat out the combined efforts of the Santos boys, Raghnall gets the win.
(And I even managed to complete the draw with 30 minutes to spare!)

04/05/2026

Last week, here's a chance to get your entries up.
Booked trainings still get you in too!

Reminder- (as per notices around the gym)
All advanced classes and sparring classes must be booked (one hour before the class).
Warm-up and techniques based on bookings, and sometimes sparring classes will be combined, depending on numbers.
It's an incredibly easy step! You just have to bother to do it.

Also remember, in advanced classess you're expected to have your shinguards and be using them! And strongly suggested to have elbow pads (it's Muay Thai, not kickboxing). Can't drill proper elbow technique without em. That means you'll be going into a fight disadvantaged.

Bookings for regular adult classes are very strongly recommended and requested (I've ensured the booking system is very easy) this our best step to ensure we don't have to raise prices, but it's completely dependent on you!

31/03/2026

Open over the 'holiday' weekend, slightly reduced class hours- petrol's too expensive to go away on holiday, so you might as well train!
Saturday class, as voted by you, is a hard level 'Muay Thai specific', strength and conditioning session. It must be booked on the app or portal by Thursday night, less than 4 and it'll cancel so watch your emails, book and no-show and still pay! There's a guide to minimum recommended abilities in the app under 'resources' if you aren't sure!
Bookings absolutely essential, bring a towel, and running shoes.

04/01/2026

Hope you all enjoyed the very generous holiday hours (yes — both days 😅). Adult classes are back to the normal schedule from today.

Quick reminder: please scan in every session.

Big year ahead for fights.
• Not sparring yet but want to? check if you are ready, get your gear and add sparring in. Start training 4–5 days a week and we can get you fight-ready by the end of the year.
• Already sparring? Add your cardio + strength work and aim for May / June / July shows.
The calendar’s filling up — time to prove you can really train.

If you were granted permission for bank payments and either took off on a break without putting notifying us of correct hold dates, or haven’t pre-paid this week, your membership may now be frozen. Proper payment sign-up is needed — this was well noted.

Now that all admin’s finally locked in and automated, I can start experimenting and adding some 'fun' stuff this year! 💪
