Group Muay Thai Training Sessions: Why They’re Perfect for Beginners

18 September 2025

So, you’re thinking about trying Muay Thai? Maybe you’ve seen a fight, maybe you just want a killer workout while you’re in Thailand or maybe you just like the idea of throwing a few kicks around. Either way, if you’re new to the sport, group Muay Thai training sessions are hands-down the best way to start.

At Khunsuek Muay Thai, we see beginners from all over the world walk in every day. Some are nervous, some are pumped and most don’t know how to wrap their hands properly yet. Don’t worry, that’s exactly what group training is for.

1. You’ll Actually Learn the Basics (Without Feeling Lost)

Group classes are beginner-friendly by design. Trainers demo a move, then give you time to try it out and yes, they’ll correct you when your roundhouse kick looks more like a karate kick. You’ll pick up the fundamentals step by step, surrounded by others who are learning right alongside you.

2. The Energy is Next-Level

Training solo can be tough. Training in a group? Whole different vibe. The music’s on, everyone’s sweating, pads are smacking and suddenly you’re pushing yourself harder than you thought you could. There’s something about being surrounded by people chasing the same goal that keeps you going,

3. It Won’t Break the Bank

Private Muay Thai sessions are awesome but group training is a way more affordable way to get started. You still get expert guidance from real Thai trainers, just without the one-on-one price tag. Perfect if you’re traveling on a budget but still want that authentic Muay Thai in Thailand experience.

4. Instant Training Buddies

Here’s the thing—Muay Thai gyms are full of travelers, locals and fighters who all started out exactly where you are now. Group training is social. You’ll end up sweating, laughing and maybe even complaining about burpees with people you just met. Half the fun is the community.

5. Get Fit Without Even Realizing It

Spoiler: a Muay Thai group class is a full-body workout in disguise. Between warm up drills, pad work, bag work and conditioning, you’ll burn a ton of calories, build strength, and boost your cardio. But because you’re focused on learning punches, elbows, kicks, and knees. It doesn’t feel like a typical boring gym session.

 

What a Beginner Group Class Looks Like

At Khunsuek, our group sessions run 90 minutes and look something like this:

  • Warm-up (stretching, exercise drills)
  • Technique breakdowns (punches, kicks, knees, elbows)
  • Partner drills (don’t worry, no one’s throwing full power at you)
  • Pad rounds with trainers (the best part!)
  • Stretch and cool down

And don’t stress, you don’t need experience. You just show up, bring some energy and we’ll handle the rest.
