Why go
Tiger Muay Thai started with the aim of bringing quality, authentic Muay Thai training in Thailand to people of all levels. It has grown into a camp that visitors treat as a home away from home, from holidaymakers and fitness fans to professional fighters preparing for bouts, with a supportive atmosphere near Phuket's beaches.
The timetable offers more than twenty types of class and over 150 sessions a week, many running at the same time. Muay Thai is taught with respect for Thai tradition, alongside MMA, BJJ, boxing, strength work, bootcamps, yoga and weight-loss programmes for guests of every level and size, whatever their physical limitations.
