Höstterminen 2023
August 22 till December 14.
All newcomers are to start with our Tuesday or Thursday evening class. We start training at kl.18, so please arrive at 17:45 for your first session.
Kids aged 9 to 14 are to start with our Wednesday class at kl.17. Parents, please arrive with your children 15 minutes early for their first session also.
A bit of personal training with one of our best kids, Saga. All the kids get PT. We try to aim for quality, not quantity. Our kids classes are a lot of fun, but they are not a playgroup, and sparring isn't allowed until each child has developed sufficient control and displays discipline and good manners. And still then, it is coached carefully.
Blue Class, Kids, 9 to 14 years.
All kids are to start with this class.
Requirements: Must be at least 9 years old, and up to 14, although smaller 15 and 16 year olds are also welcome. All children in these classes will need their own boxing gloves from day 1. No gloves, no training, firm. This is for hygiene reasons. Gloves are available from our gym store, and many other outlets. Come to class 15 minutes early on your first lesson to fix necessary paperwork and to talk to the head coach. No late-comers will be welcome, as this disrupts those who have come on time, which is unacceptable.
We are not a day care center or baby sitting facility. We want enthusiastic students who love the art and are here to learn and have a good time. Parents should make an effort to talk to the coach regularly and to, on occasion, watch the training sessions to see what it's all about. Kids who train regularly and are interested in furthering themselves and even competing will also be welcome to our red classes and our green Sunday class as well.
Green Classes, Tuesday & Thursday.
All newcomers, 15 years or older, must begin with these classes. Come at least 15 minutes early for your first class.
Requirements: Must be 15 years or older. All equipment is available for loan, but for a limited time only (1 term). After that (or preferably before) buy your own.
This class is for everyone, beginners to advanced. He we concentrate on developing the right technique regarding striking (elbows, fists, knees and kicks), combinations, clinch, footwork, balance, defense, and building our core strength with a variety of floor exercises which are scattered throughout the class to promote good circulation and variety during our workouts. People participating in these two classes each week will experience dramatic weight loss, gain strength, confidence, and life changing skills.
Green Class, Sunday.
This class is open to all ages, but only after you have trained at least twice and paid your training fee. It is more or less an open gym session, and a time for the head coach and experienced fighters to build rapport with those who show commitment and promise, and to help them to improve their technique and fighting skills. The Sunday session is an investment in the future of Muay Thai in Karlskrona.
Red Classes, Monday, Wednesday & Friday.
These classes are for members only (all ages) This is where the real training begins. All are welcome, but a few weeks with the green classes are recommended first. Our kids are also welcome at these classes, but only after they have gained an elementary understanding of the art and have talked to or been invited by the head coach.
Orange Classes, Tuesday & Thursday Nights
These sparring sessions are only open to those who have trained on the green classes beforehand. Sparring is to be performed in a controlled manner, and sufficient protective equipment must be used. All members are also welcome to use the gym freely during this time, or to simply socialize until closing time.
Our adults group class, on a Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evening. The room is always full! It is here we work on technique, conditioning and some light sparring if you like. It's always an awesome social event, with the gym staying open till kl 20:00 for people to hang and chat.
Rules - General

3. Everyone in this gym shall be treated with respect. Women and children come first here.
4. No spectators. This rule is to protect the privacy and security of our members. Absolutely no exceptions.
Rules - Training
1. When the coach is speaking, you are not. It's basic, common courtesy.
2. Sparring is not a fight. Take it easy and you'll actually learn. Go hard, and someone will get hurt. Repeat offenders will simply be banned from sparring.
3. If someone holds pads for you, return the favour.
4. If you've been training for more than 3 months, you should buy your own equipment (adults). The gear we have at the gym to loan out is for beginners only. EVERYONE who loans gloves from us MUST have their own hand wraps/ bandages.

7. This gym is beginner friendly. No bullying will be accepted.
8. Bring a towel. If you want to lie on the floor and stretch after training, put your towel down first.

11. Leave your ego at the door.
