Muay Thai

Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand and brings with it traditions based on mutual respect, humility and the positive outcomes that come from hard work. People who train do not need to participate in competitive fighting to reap the rewards that consistent training offers.

Martial arts training has thousands of years of history behind it which speaks to its positive impacts on practitioners’ lives. The Rise Above Trust brings these benefits to the modern world through teaching Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Boxing.

As well as the positive physical health aspects that come from regular training, our well-structured training incorporates characteristics with an emphasis on respect, self-regulation and health promotion. Regular training has positive mental health impacts and provides a sense of community, connection, self-esteem and for some, catharsis.

Our classes and programs are fun, and carefully observed by our highly trained instructors who teach in a light-hearted and friendly way. The training sessions provide a vehicle for us to build peer support and create opportunities for participants to learn and share in a safe but regulated environment.
