​Muay Thai All Levels Class (1 hour)- The All Levels Class focuses on the basic punches, elbows, kicks and knees that the Art of Eight Limbs builds its foundation on. Students in this class must bring their own hand wraps and Muay Thai specific gloves to each class. This class is open to first time students who may borrow loaner gloves and purchase wraps at the beginning of class. This class is non-contact; students work in pairs striking Thai Pads. Classes take place on the third Sunday of the month from 11:00 to 12:00pm (first time students should arrive 15 minutes early to sign waivers and wrap their hands).
