What Muay Thai actually is
Muay Thai is a striking art from Thailand, known as the art of eight limbs because it uses punches, elbows, knees and kicks. It is one of the most effective stand-up systems in the world and a core part of modern MMA.
At TNT our Muay Thai is more Dutch in style, which means the footwork and boxing of Western striking are folded into the Thai weapons. That is the version that holds up when someone is actually trying to hit you back.
What you will learn
- Striking combinations with hands, elbows, knees and feet
- Defensive footwork and body movement
- Clinch work and counter-striking
- Pad rounds, bag work and controlled partner drills
- Conditioning built into the class, not bolted on
Every class is structured so technique and conditioning improve together. You are not made to spar on day one.
Who it is for
Most of our Muay Thai members started with zero martial arts experience and now train alongside advanced students. We also work with competitive Muay Thai and MMA fighters preparing for bouts.
There is no separate beginner Muay Thai class, so you start in any Muay Thai session on the schedule. The coaches pair you appropriately. It is a family-friendly room, and we train for self-defense and skill, not for scoring points.
Muay Thai class times
Muay Thai runs Monday and Tuesday, 7:00 to 8:15 pm, and Thursday, 5:30 to 6:30 pm. Every class is included in one membership.
Who you are learning from
TNT is led by Professor Scott Tannenbaum, a 6th Degree black belt under Rigan Machado and the only 6th Degree No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt in Arizona. He has cornered more than 150 MMA fights.
The coaching staff brings decades of combined experience across Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling and MMA. Read Scott’s full background →
FAQ
Do I need experience?
No. Most people walk in with none. You will be shown the basics and paired with someone who will not take your head off.
Do I need my own gear?
Not for your first class. Shorts, a t-shirt and water are enough. Gloves and shin guards come later, and the enrollment package covers your starting kit.
Will I have to spar?
Not until you are ready. Sparring is controlled and optional while you are learning.
Is it good conditioning?
It is a full-body workout. Members consistently report better cardio, strength and coordination, and it does not feel like a treadmill.
