You may wish to purchase a groin guard or your own equipment and this is obtainable from our shop at very competitive rates, but this is optional. Please note as from the 1st May 2008, no equipment will be provided in the classes or for courses beyond the beginners course, so if you wish to continue in Muay Thai you will need Boxing Gloves (14 or 16oz), Shinpads and Thai Boxing or MMA Shorts as a minimum to train.
