At its core Legions is a Thai Boxing gym. Muay Thai is a devastating striking art that blends techniques such as kicks, knees, elbows, punches and clinch work. Muay Thai (or Thai Boxing) is a fighting art that originated in Thailand over 1000 years ago. Often called the “toughest ring sport in the world” it is arguably the most powerful and dominating stand-up martial art in the world.A good Muay Thai session is one of the best workouts a person can have and is perfect for fitness and weight loss as well as increasing confidence, physical ability and skill. All you need to bring in the first instance is a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, all gloves and equipment is available at the gym.Advanced classes are taught by our head coach Dave “the boss man” Phillips and generally consist of a warm up, some pads or technical training followed by sparring.
Dave is the gyms head coach and in charge of the Thai fight team and training. He works the guys hard on the pads and in sparring. Legions fighters are renowned for their aggressive style and technical proficiency which stems from Dave’s own fighting style. Dave has taken complete novices and turned them into World Champions. Dave teaches the advanced Thai classes at the gym and is available for 1-2-1 training
Al has a role in a number of areas of the gym. He has experience in Muay Thai, Boxing and is qualified to teach Self Defense. He has relaxed, calm style of coaching and works with members who train for fun through to gyms fighters.
