Why Do Thai Boxing

There are many reasons why someone might choose to do Thai boxing. Some of the benefits of training in Muay Thai include:

1 Physical fitness: Thai boxing is a full-body workout that can help improve cardiovascular health, build strength and flexibility, and increase overall endurance.


2 Self-defense: Thai boxing teaches practical self-defence techniques that can be used in real-life situations.

3 Mental health: Training in Thai boxing can be a great stress-reliever and can also help improve focus, confidence, and self-esteem.


4 Cultural appreciation: Muay Thai is a deeply ingrained part of Thai culture, and learning about the history and traditions associated with the sport can be a fascinating and enriching experience.

I 
5 Community: Many people find that the community aspect of Thai boxing training is one of its biggest draws. Training in a gym with like-minded individuals can be a great way to make new friends and be part of a supportive and inclusive community.

6 Fun: Thai boxing is a challenging and engaging sport that can be a lot of fun to learn and practice. Whether you are looking for a new hobby or simply want to get in shape, Thai boxing can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
It’s important to note that Thai boxing can be physically demanding, and it’s recommended that you consult with a doctor before starting any new fitness or martial arts program. But for those who are in good health and looking for a new challenge, Thai boxing can be a great way to get in shape, improve self-defence skills, and have fun while doing it.

Glow Kicks – 21st May 2021
Our loooooong awaited glow kick class will commence on 21st May 2021.
The intention was to start this in the winter when we had darkness earlier, however, we have had so much excitement and interest that we are pushing on with this as we think it’s imperative for people and their mental wellness to get those endorphin rushes from moving and having FUN.
We are gonna start with the class from 8 pm-9 pm but we may need to adjust the timings depending on the darkness. Make sure you are registered so you get all the up-to-date notifications:
 https://phoenixmuaythai.co.uk/glow-kick/

Bank holiday Monday – 31st May 2021
On bank holiday Monday, there will be a joint class from 7 pm to 8 pm. All ages (min. age 5 years old) and abilities are welcome to join in on this class.

Happy Birthday – 5th June 2021
20th anniversary of Phoenix Muay Thai.

Pad Work – 21st June 2021
We will be back to doing pad work, we will also be reintroducing member to member insurance, this hasn’t been necessary during covid due to us only utilising the bags for individual work. When we revert to pad work, this insurance will be mandatory again.
We don’t ask students to join until after 4 weeks of training. After this period students will be required to join.
Insurance: £30 per year.

Celebrations – 26th June 2021
We will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Phoenix Muay Thai and being out of lockdown CALLING ALL STUDENTS PAST AND PRESENT
I don’t know what we are going to be doing, but trust me, it’s going to be epic.
I am thinking of clearing the walkway and turning it into a club, get DJs on lights the lot. Everyone bring their own beer – drink responsibly, but party like lunatics 🙂

Sparring – 4th July 2021
The return of the sparring class. all students must have their own appropriate equipment, including gum shields, shin pads, appropriate boxing gloves for their size and weight.
https://phoenixmuaythai.co.uk/shop/ 

New Bags
We have introduced some new branded Phoenix Muay Thai bags up in the training room on a clever pulley system, which I can’t wait for you to see. It means now we can now increase our classes to 18 people all with their own bag station with social distancing in place.

Saturday 12.15 Class
This class used to be the adult only class but we have turned it into an adults and family class. If you are training as a family, all children must be accompanied by and an adult (max 2 children per adult). If your child has trained in the children’s class that day, they can’t train in the adults class too. It is the parents/guardians responsibility to ensure that the children they are supervising are respectful in the training room and do not disturb the other students.


 
In loving memory
We are saddened to announce that during this last lockdown, we have lost 2 beloved Phoenix Phamily members. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of Rachel West and Michelle Murphy. They will always hold their place in our Phamily.
Rest in peace ladies

Jaiven Get His Uniform

­

Jaiven was presented with their uniform in the Wednesday class.

Parents purchased their uniform as they have watched their progression and recognised their commitment to Phoenix Muay Thai over the past 4-8 weeks.

Kru presented the children with their uniform and explained the importance of the uniform and how it represents our club and how they should act respectfully at all times, especially when they are wearing the club uniform.

Welcome to the Phoenix Phamily.

Well done to Sergio for training so good in his lesson today

Our uniform is our identity.

Dear Members,

Our next stock of uniform is on its way and will be sold on a first come first served basis. Our uniform is sold on a ‘pay upfront’ basis and we will not reserve any uniform without payment.

Dare we say the ‘C’ word?? Christmas is only round the corner, and if you were thinking of buying the uniform as part of a Christmas present, now is the time to order to ensure you have it in plenty of time. Get organised now to avoid the Christmas panic. We can’t guarantee that we will have the next order before Christmas as everything we order is bespoke to Phoenix Muay Thai and has to be printed/embroidered with our logos.

When you train at Phoenix Muay Thai, you are part of our club and you should represent our club in uniform, just like Manchester United or Manchester City have kits, so do we. You wouldn’t turn up to training at Manchester City with a Manchester United kit on and vice versa. We expect the same. We have Champion level trainers at the gym, we have high standards and we provide you with a Champion standard of training.

Boxing gloves should be purchased from us as part of the uniform. If you own your own gloves, they must be red or blue. “Yeah I know this but the black ones were cheaper” isn’t an excuse and you will have to use the communal gym gloves until you have the right coloured gloves. We can ensure the quality of our Phoenix Muay Thai gloves and our team will be able to advise on the right size gloves (6oz, 8oz, 10oz, 12oz etc.) for you.

If you have any questions or need any more information about uniform, please speak with Clare directly.

Click on the ‘Order Now’ button below and order directly from the website or alternatively click ‘Download Order Form’ and give the completed form to Clare.

Many Thanks
Kru Rick Lewis.

Thai Boxing New Starters

PhoenixMuayThaiFavi

What you need to know about training with us.
Four important steps.

Step One

A Registration and Medical form needs to be filled in 

https://phoenixmuaythai.co.uk/disclaimer-form/ 

If you do not complete stage 1 ‘Disclaimer Form / Medical Form’ you will not be approved for stage 2 ‘booking app’.
This medical form is to ensure that we can give the best possible information to the emergency services, should they need to be called i.e., allergies, existing medical conditions etc and so we can immediately inform your next of kin should an injury/emergency arise.
You CAN NOT TRAIN in our gym without completing a ‘Disclaimer Form/Medical Form’. 

Please use the same email address (DO NOT USE AN PRIVATE APPLE I.D) and name on both the medical disclaimer and the booking app, so the team can match your details.

Step Two

Booking & pay for classes 

Join us at Phoenix Muay Thai on the Wix app to easily stay updated and get in touch with us on the go.

Join with this link: http://wix.to/RcCvC6w. Got the app? Use the invite code: 01S1DW

Our booking T&C’s  
PLEASE GIVE 24 HOURS TO BE ACCEPTED ON THE APP BEFORE RINGING, TEXTING OR EMAILING!

If you/your child cannot attend the session you have booked, you must give at least 24 hours’ notice by cancelling the place on the booking app, then it gives someone else the chance to book the session, please then message us through the app to let us know what day you want to attend instead and we will roll your session over (do not book on this session). 

Your lesson can’t be cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, unfortunately, we can not give refunds or roll your session at this point, please do not call/text to ask the question or roll your session, please communicate through the booking app.

Stripe’s fees on the original payment fee (which are 0.29p) will not be returned in case of a refund.  

 All booking enquiries can be dealt with via our booking team. They can be contacted via the chat option on the Spaces By Wix app, not via any of the social media outlets. This is the quickest way to get a response.

Kru Rick does not deal with booking enquiries. If the class you want to attend is full, please send a message to the team to request to be put on a waiting list and they will advise you if anyone cancels. Cancellations are offered on a first come first served basis.

The system doesn’t currently allow you to book 2 people in under the same email address/login on the same class. If you book one in on the system and pay cash in reception for the sibling. We make allowances for siblings in the classes but one must be booked in on the app.

Please use the same email address on both the medical disclaimer and the booking app, so the team can match your details.

What’s your New Years resolution?

What’s your New Years resolution?

Is it to get fit?

Lose a few pounds?

Perhaps make some new friends?

Thai boxing may be the answer.

Phoenix Muay Thai is a traditional but friendly Thai boxing club run by Rick Lewis (a Thai Boxing champion who trained under Master Phil Nurse and Grand Master Sken).

What you can expect;

1. Friendly people

2. Children’s classes (from 5 upwards)

3. Expert tuition in Thai boxing

4. To become much more able to defend yourself.

5. You will lose weight and be much fitter (the classes will give you the kind of workout that leaves you sweaty and smiling).

What you won’t get

1. You won’t be forced to do anything you can’t do.

2. You won’t be made to feel uncomfortable.

There are NO joining fees and no monthly payments. It’s just a nice easy £6 per lesson.
