Our Portland Thai boxing classes are based on the traditional as well as the modern fundamentals of the national sport. They are high intensity classes where you will use shadow boxing, heavy bag work, focus mitts, Thai pads, conditioning, and light contact sparring as the basis to your workout.

The use of knees and elbows as essential weapons are also explained in detail. Along with the fundamentals of proper technique, the use of speed and power are taught to aid in the delivery of devastating strikes.
