Ubud is often associated with stillness—rice fields, rituals, quiet mornings. But movement has always lived here, too. Discipline. Sweat. Repetition. Community built not by noise, but by showing up.
That’s where Ubud Muay Thai began. Founded in 2018, Ubud Muay Thai became the first Muay Thai community gym in Ubud—not just a place to train, but a place where people could belong. Locals, long-term residents, travelers passing through. Beginners stepping onto the mat for the first time, and experienced fighters refining their craft.
Different backgrounds, one shared space. More Than a Gym, From the Beginning
From the start, Ubud Muay Thai wasn’t built around exclusivity or intimidation. It was built around consistency, respect, and real connection. Training seriously, without taking ourselves too seriously.
Classes run every week, welcoming:
- members who train daily
- walk-in travelers curious to try Muay Thai
- people returning after long breaks
- people who’ve never thrown a punch before
What connects them isn’t level or experience—it’s willingness to learn.
#RISEwithUbudMuayThai
This year’s theme, #RISEwithUbudMuayThai, isn’t about pushing harder or chasing louder goals. It’s about rising together—through discipline, community, and shared effort.
- Rising after setbacks.
- Rising through consistency.
- Rising by supporting one another.
You can feel this spirit in our brand video, which reflects not just training, but the rhythm of the gym and the people who move through it:
It’s not about perfection, it’s about presence.
Training Is Only Part of the Story
Yes, we train Muay Thai seriously. We focus on technique, conditioning, and progression. But what keeps people coming back isn’t only the pads or drills—it’s the environment.
Over time, a community forms naturally:
- people encouraging each other mid-round
- coaches remembering names, not just numbers
- shared laughs after tough sessions
- quiet nods of respect between strangers
This sense of togetherness isn’t accidental. It’s something we actively protect and build. You can see it clearly in moments like these, where training and community blend into one here.
A Gym Where Women Feel Safe
One of the things we’re most proud of—because it wasn’t manufactured or marketed—is the trust women place in our space.
Women from different countries, backgrounds, and experience levels consistently share the same feeling: they feel safe training here.
- Not watched.
- Not judged.
- Not dismissed.
That trust shows up in reviews like these, shared openly by women who trained at Ubud Muay Thai:
Safety isn’t just about rules. It’s about culture. How people speak to one another. How trainers communicate. How boundaries are respected without question.
Open-Air, Open-Minded
Our open-air gym reflects the way we train—grounded, aware, and connected to our surroundings. Fresh air moves through the space. Natural light changes throughout the day. Training feels alive, not boxed in.
That openness extends beyond the physical space. Questions are welcome. Progress happens at different speeds. There’s room to learn without pressure.
You don’t need to arrive confident; confidence grows through repetition.
For All Levels, At Any Stage
Ubud Muay Thai isn’t built for one type of person. It’s for:
- beginners who want to try something new
- travelers who want meaningful movement while in Bali
- experienced practitioners refining their skills
- people returning to training after time away
No one is rushed. No one is forced into a mold. Training adapts as people grow.
Rising Together
Since 2018, Ubud Muay Thai has grown—not by chasing trends, but by staying consistent with its values. Train well. Treat people with respect. Build something that lasts.
That’s what #RISEwithUbudMuayThai means to us.
If you’re curious to experience our classes—whether you’re brand new or deeply experienced—you’re welcome to join us.
Step onto the mat, train at your pace, and rise with the community.
