About The Hawks' Nest Gym

Tucked just behind Woolworths Quay Street with its entrance off Scene Lane, this combat sports gym focuses on Muay Thai and kickboxing in an ego-less, approachable training space. Sessions centre on the striking "art of eight limbs", featuring adaptable Technique and Circuit classes that cater to total beginners learning footwork and punch mechanics right through to seasoned competitors and aspiring fighters. Dedicated one-on-one personal training sessions are also available by booking for tailored conditioning and technique work. Communal gloves are available to borrow on site, hand wraps can be purchased at reception or brought from home, and separate male and female changing rooms provide bag storage.

Trainees are encouraged to turn up fifteen minutes ahead of class to wrap hands and get settled on the mats. Four reserved car parks underneath Scene One Apartments can be booked in advance, while Britomart Car Park provides a handy backup nearby. Situated on Beach Road in the central city, it offers a grounded, community-focused martial arts option right in the downtown grid. Our pick in the CBD for learning Muay Thai striking without the intimidation.
