I can not overstate how much 29 Degrees has changed my life. James and the rest of the tribe welcomed me with kindness and without judgement. They helped me rehabilitate my body, mind and personal relationships.

★★★★★ — Ian, Dec 2024

I have been attending 29 Degrees for nearly a year for training and mindset coaching with Sensei James Bedwell. The classes and training provided at 29 Degrees are incredible and second to now - and my work with James as a personal mindset coach has been nothing short of life changing.

★★★★★ — Jimmy, Oct 2022

An amazing Dojo to be apart of. The training is phenomenal and I love the care and considerations that are given by the trainer's and the owner. I feel like I am with a family when I am training here. All around a great establishment.

New to muay thai? Start at 29 Degrees -Muay Thai

29 Degrees -Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at 29 Degrees -Muay Thai

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
