Welcome to the best Muay Thai Kickboxing in Madison!

Madison Muay Thai is one of the oldest running Muay Thai programs in the Madison Area.  Our Programs cover it all. 

Whether you are just looking to get a workout, want to learn a new skill, or become a Muay Thai or MMA Champion, this is the place for you! 

No experience?  No Problem. 

Our Experienced coaches will start you out on the right path, learning proper stance and footwork, punches, kicks, knees and elbows.

Training specific to a Thai fighter includes training with coaches on Thai pads, focus mitts, heavy bag, and sparring.

Daily training includes many rounds (3 minute periods) of these various methods of practice. Thai pad training is a cornerstone of Muay Thai conditioning that involves practicing punches, kicks, knees, and elbow strikes with a trainer wearing thick pads covering the forearms and hands. These special pads (Thai pads) are used to absorb the impact of the fighter’s strikes.  This also allows the fighter to react to the attacks of the pad holder in a live situation. The trainer will often also wear a “belly pad” so that the fighter can attack the body at any time during the round.

It has and will always be our goal to provide the top Muay Thai instruction.  By utilizing traditional Muay Thai techniques, “Dutch” style training as well as modern evolution of the art, we have developed a program in which ANYONE can train.  Even if you have no experience in Kickboxing or Martial arts, our Muay Thai program is for you.  Get Started Today!
