Muay Thai for Self-Defence
About the event
Weekly Muay Thai Self-Defence classes focused on building confidence, communication, and empowerment in a supportive, judgement-free space.
Karina’s Muay Thai classes focus on building confidence, communication, and empowerment in a supportive, judgement-free space. Students are encouraged to train at their own pace while building physical strength, fitness, and practical skills.
Through interactive drills, partner work, and teamwork, students develop coordination, resilience, and confidence—whether their goal is fitness, self-defence, or training to compete in the long term.
These sessions are funded by the London Marathon Foundation.
