What to Expect in Each Class
Warm-Up & Stretching
Dynamic Warm-Up
The session begins with energetic exercises like jumping jacks, high knees, or jogging to get kids’ hearts pumping and prepare their bodies for training.
These activities are designed to be engaging, ensuring kids start the class with enthusiasm and excitement.
Stretching Routine
Trainers then lead a series of static and dynamic stretches focused on the major muscle groups used in Muay Thai, such as legs, hips, shoulders, and arms.
This helps improve flexibility and reduces the risk of injuries, setting a good foundation for the upcoming training.
Technique Training

Kids will learn and practice fundamental Muay Thai strikes, including punches (jab, cross), kicks (teep, roundhouse), elbows, and knees.
Trainers demonstrate each technique step-by-step, ensuring that beginners grasp the basics while advanced students work on improving their form and speed.
Defensive Movements
Children are taught defensive skills like blocking, parrying, and moving away from attacks. These skills are crucial for building confidence in self-defense while improving reflexes and timing.
Combination Drills
Students will practice simple strike combinations, allowing them to string together punches, kicks, and blocks. This segment often includes pad work, where kids can strike focus mitts or kick pads held by trainers or partners, making it a hands-on, engaging learning experience.

Children will pair up for drills like tag sparring (without contact), reaction games, or mirroring movements to promote teamwork, communication, and mutual respect.

Trainers introduce agility exercises like cone drills, relay races, and obstacle courses that help build coordination, balance, and speed in a fun and competitive manner.

parents’ Testimonials
Hear What Our Kids’ Parents Have to Say
After my kids trained Muay Thai in Thailand, they were looking for a similar authentic experience and we thanked our lucky stars there was Prakaipetch.
Went to the gym in Tampines. The kids loved the trial session and we signed up for more training sessions. The thai coaches were incredible and friendly.
They catered the session specifically for kids. Air-conditioned gym during kids class. Hoping for more kids classes if possible as kids class is currently only once a week.
Coaches also helped the kids wrapped their hands before class. A dedicated bunch of Thai coaches and an extremely pleasant training experience for the kids. Might give it a try myself for the adults class.
We’re thrilled with our daughter’s Muay Thai classes! The patient coaches make learning both fun and safe, and we’ve already seen her confidence grow. She enjoys every session and is always excited to go back. Highly recommend for a supportive and engaging environment!
