About Jai Thai Boxing Gym

JAI Muay Thai is a Muay Thai gym at 76 Anzac Avenue in Auckland's CBD, about five minutes' walk from Britomart. It is owned and run by a former female fighter, and beginners and experienced fighters train in the same room. Its foundation class is JAI 101, a beginners' Muay Thai class that teaches hand wrapping, stance, movement, punches and kicks safely. The first class is free, and no experience is needed. There is no sparring in JAI 101, and no sparring on a first session. Gloves are provided. Classes are open to all fitness levels, and people who have never exercised much are welcome. The gym also offers Muay Thai training for those who want to fight, but students decide when they are ready. Many people come on their own the first time, and the gym asks students to arrive 15 minutes before a class so the coaches can explain everything before the class starts. Students describe the trainers as patient and encouraging, and say the gym is friendly and supportive for complete beginners. The free trial can be booked online.
