Starting something new can feel intimidating — especially when it comes to martial arts. Many people assume Muay Thai training is only for experienced fighters, athletes, or people who are already fit and confident. At Ubud Muay Thai, Basic Muay Thai: Entry Level exists to gently challenge that assumption.
This class is designed specifically for people who have never done any martial arts training before, but are curious and willing to try. No prior experience is required. No pressure to perform. Just a clear, supportive introduction to Muay Thai fundamentals, guided step by step.
What “Entry Level” Means at Ubud Muay Thai
Basic Muay Thai: Entry Level is exactly what it sounds like — a starting point.
This class is not rushed, not aggressive, and not overwhelming. It is structured to help first-timers understand the basics of Muay Thai in a way that feels approachable and safe. Movements are explained clearly, demonstrated carefully, and practiced at a comfortable pace.
Ubud Muay Thai is not an intimidating gym. At the same time, we do take correct technique seriously. Even at the entry level, fundamentals are taught properly so students can build confidence without developing bad habits. This class is about learning, not proving anything.
A Gentle Introduction to Muay Thai Fundamentals
Muay Thai is often called “The Art of Eight Limbs,” but beginners don’t need to understand everything at once. In this entry-level class, training is broken down into simple, digestible steps.
You’ll be introduced to:
- Basic stance and posture
- Fundamental movements and balance
- Simple punching and kicking mechanics
- Awareness of distance and positioning
Rather than throwing combinations immediately, students are given time to feel each movement and understand how the body works together. This approach helps reduce anxiety and builds a solid foundation from day one.
Why Starting Slow Matters
One of the biggest reasons people quit martial arts early is feeling overwhelmed. Entry-level training exists to prevent that.
By starting slow and focusing on basics, students can:
- Learn movements safely
- Build coordination without stress
- Understand instructions clearly
- Develop confidence at their own pace
This class is designed so you don’t need to be fit, flexible, or strong before you start. Fitness develops naturally through consistent practice. The focus in the beginning is simply learning how to move correctly and comfortably.
What You’ll Learn in Basic Muay Thai: Entry Level
In this class, students will learn:
- Proper stance and guard
- Basic punches and kicks
- Simple defensive awareness
- Fundamental footwork
- How to move safely and confidently in class
Every movement is explained and demonstrated by trainers before practice begins. Students are encouraged to ask questions and take breaks when needed. Progress is gradual and supportive, not rushed.
Who This Class Is Designed For
Basic Muay Thai: Entry Level is designed for:
- People who have never trained in martial arts before
- Complete beginners feeling unsure or nervous
- Those returning to movement after a long break
- Anyone curious about Muay Thai but hesitant to start
You don’t need prior fitness experience. You don’t need to “be tough.” You only need a willingness to try and an open mind.
