Muay Thai kickboxing is the dominant striking style of martial arts that professional fighters use in MMA competitions. Using the fundamental striking methods that are used in 90% of the situations you will ever encounter in life, Muay Thai training focuses on developing a minimum of technique to a maximum level of efficiency in a high energy, fat burning workout.

DON’T BE FOOLED BY YOUR AVERAGE COOKIE CUTTER KICKBOXING CLASS. Don’t get me wrong, cardio kickboxing classes are great for getting a sweat on and losing weight. But most classes will not teach you how to actually defend yourself properly. Most kickboxing classes simply have you punching and kicking heavy bags or hand pads, but never engage in 2 person drills to actually train you how to defend yourself. THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE WITH GRACIE BARRA NOVI MUAY THAI. Our head instructor travels to Thailand 1-2 times per year to train at professional Muay Thai gyms with some of the most decorated practitioners in the world. This ensures that you are getting the most up to date, effective training methods used by current professional fighters.

Our classes here in novi are high energy, fat burning workouts that will also teach you how to defend yourself. Why go to another gym and only get ½ of the benefit when you can go somewhere and get ALL of it? Our classes are designed for men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes. Just like the Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu motto, “Jiu-Jitsu for Everyone”, we embrace that same philosophy in our Muay Thai kickboxing class. Our Novi students are taught right from day one that we expect an inclusive atmosphere where more experienced students help our newer students. So you can rest assured you will be welcomed into a family friendly atmosphere while learning one of the most powerful striking martial arts on the planet.
