Build real Muay Thai skills, real fitness, and legitimate self-defense in a friendly, safety-first Winnipeg Muay Thai program for ages 14 and up. Start at Fundamentals and move up through our leveled classes as your instructor sees fit.

If it’s your first day, you’re in the right place – however, all skill levels are welcome. This class is a great ongoing option anyone wanting a lighter, technique-focused workout.

Come 20 minutes early, wear athletic clothes, and tell your coach it’s your first class; gear is provided.

Fundamentals is the required first class for all new students at Kwest, and it’s a great fit anytime you want a lighter-intensity, fun class built on real Muay Thai technique. You’ll learn the fundamentals – footwork, striking mechanics, pad work, and very light non-contact drilling, coach-guided, and paced to your ability, building the skills to move into our faster-paced classes when you’re ready.

Muay Thai Level 2 – Typically 10+ classes experience. Instructor approval required prior to attending your first class.

Muay Thai Level 2 builds on the foundation from Levels 1 and 1.5, with more emphasis on sparring, clinching, pad work, and bag work as you prepare for higher-intensity training or competition.
