Short North Muay Thai

Short North Muay Thai offers training in Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing, as well as kickboxing. The program teaches Muay Thai in a traditional manner, with a focus on both the physical and mental aspects of the martial art. All adult students start their training, regardless of previous experience, with a several week beginner course, while children may start at any point due to the small class size and high touch nature of instruction.

• Ages: 6–18 years old
• Schedule: Hours of operation align with class schedule

Short North Muay Thai was established by Kru Hope in 2005, after she returned from competing in the World Championship in Thailand. The gym moved to its current Grandview location in 2008. The Adult Beginner's Course is designed to introduce students to the weapons of Muay Thai and the culture of the school, and upcoming beginner courses are posted several months in advance. The program is rooted in the old school style of Muay Thai or Thai Boxing and is described as a learning center that facilitates the true art of Muay Thai through physical, mental and spiritual conditioning. It stands by old school ethics to respect others, show humbleness, be gracious, kind, and cool-hearted, and it focuses on building confidence, self-respect, harmony and awareness to the world around us. Classes are structured to push each individual to higher mental and physical levels in a positive and supportive environment so that participants are better, happier, healthier people and may enjoy life to the fullest.
