"I really like the instructor, Coach Nick. He moves at a really nice pace, explains things well, and is really pleasant to hear in class. I really like the organization of the levels, it makes sense is logical, and having the download for each curriculum and level is terrific. The videos are all good, fun to watch, and while not the most intense workouts, give a really nicely paced lesson plan that is very well executed."
David Mitnick (student since 2017)

Course Curriculum
Take the guesswork out of training. Every single training level is laid out step-by-step and is easy to follow. In this
course, not only will you learn every single defense, strike, and principle, you'll also reach new levels of
physical fitness, control, confidence, and energy.
Introduction
You'll learn about the style, how to use the course, the principles of Muay Thai, and the basics of stance, movement, and footwork.
Strikes
Practice devastating but simple strikes to end a fight quickly: straight punches, hook punches, uppercuts, overhands, elbow strikes, and more.
Kicks
Learn the crushing cornerstones of Muay Thai - the Thai kick, round kick, front kick, back kick, spinning kick, knee, jump knee, and more!
Defenses
Defend against any attack by moving fast with highly-efficient footwork and defenses that flow with your body's natural range of movement. Practice through sparring.
