ALL LEVELS MUAY THAI

The Art of Eight Limbs

At Mainland MMA, Kru Zachary Elsworth and Coach Brett MacPhail are at the forefront of our Muay Thai program. Both coaches developed their foundations through traditional Muay Thai and, together, have evolved those teachings into a modernized style built for today’s athletes and competitors.

Our system respects the old school while remaining open to the new school. We preserve the technique, discipline and details that make traditional Muay Thai so effective, while continuing to adapt our footwork, combinations, defense and movement for modern Muay Thai, kickboxing and mixed martial arts. That balance has become a major part of Mainland’s success in competition.

Kru Zach and Coach Brett alternate in leading the class, bringing their own experience, perspective and coaching style into one unified program.

All Levels Muay Thai combines everything that worked in our Beginner and Advanced Muay Thai programs and delivers it in one complete class. It is still beginner Muay Thai. It is still advanced Muay Thai. The difference is that every athlete receives instruction appropriate to their current skill level.

A beginner should not walk into class and immediately be handed an eight-strike combination involving footwork and movements they haven’t learned yet. They need a strong stance, proper balance, clean technique and an understanding of how each movement works. More experienced athletes need greater complexity, sharper details and combinations that challenge their timing, decision-making and ability to flow.

We assess where you are, give you work that matches your current abilities and build forward from there. Different athletes may receive different combinations, variations or technical expectations during the same class. Everyone trains together, but nobody is expected to learn beyond their foundation before they are ready.

Newer athletes will develop the fundamentals of striking, including stance, punches, kicks, knees, elbows, proper defenses, footwork and proper movement. Experienced athletes will sharpen those same foundations while progressing into advanced combinations, feints, setups, angles, counters, rhythm and intelligent striking.

Whether you are stepping into a Muay Thai gym for the first time, returning to strengthen your fundamentals or preparing for competition, this class will meet you at your current level and help move you forward.

One class.

Every level.

Traditional roots with a modern approach.

This is Muay Thai at Mainland MMA.
