We welcome you at any stage of fitness and skill, and believe in the power of martial arts to improve lives through fitness, self-discipline and building a positive goal-centred mindset.

Children's Classes:
A centuries-old martial art from Thailand, practised as a ring sport in current times.
In the UK, junior thaiboxers train and compete without any head contact to avoid the risk of concussions on developing brains. Strikes are thrown to the body and legs, and sometimes arms of the opponent.
At Stroud Martial Arts, we train with a mixture of pad work, contact drills to learn technique, and light sparring.
Our junior classes are designed to be fun, with physically demanding but always achievable goals. Students gain fitness, flexibility and balance while they train, and learn self-discipline and control in sparring.

Adult Classes:
Our adult classes are divided up into an hour of exercise, pad work and drills (suitable for complete beginners) and then half an hour of sparring.  Sparring is always optional, but you must have taken part in the class first before you can join the sparring session - that way, you're safely warmed up and you can focus on applying the techniques that you've just been drilling.  Do you need lots of experience to take part?  No, our sparring sessions are light and focus on controlled use of technique. You do need to have your own protective equipment:- shin guards, 14 or 16 oz gloves, gumshield and groin guard.
Not sure if you're ready for sparring? Talk to Mathilde or Anthony, and stay to watch a sparring session after the main class on Monday or Thursday.
