It was amazing to see so many gyms there!

A great experience that we will never forget.

Ah something we’ve heard so many times, and I used to question myself to be honest.

Will everyone be better than me?
Will I look stupid?
Who will I be partnered with?
What if I don’t have the right equipment?

Which then leads to

Oh I’ll try it another day…
Hmm maybe I should wait until x,y,z

But Muay Thai is not just for fighters, or the people that seem to be really good at it! It’s for everyone whether you want to fight, or just get fitter, or learn a little self defence, or just want to have a go and have some fun.

To make it easier why not try the following..

🔥 Get to know the instructors / Kru that you will be training under. Ask them questions, have a chat with them, put your mind at ease.
🔥 Go and eee the facility first, it may lower that anxiety as it’s no a surprise and you know where you’re going.
🔥 Go with a friend. Someone you feel comfortable with will make all the difference.

Any questions, feel free to ask 😃

I thought I should introduce myself also after Dan has done his 😊.

I’m Lynsey and I am the other half of A1.

My Muay Thai journey started over 15 years ago and when I was working with Dan. I was getting some unwanted attention in work from another staff member and found myself in situations I was not comfortable with. I was painfully shy and too scared to do anything about it.

I started talking to Dan and he said that he’d done Muay Thai and that he could show me some things incase I ever needed them. Im glad he showed me because I did need them and it gave me the tools and confidence I needed to be able to get away.

After this I started attending more classes with Dan and fell in love with it.

He introduced me to this world and I’ll forever be grateful.

I’d been teaching for a while, swimming lessons, fitness classes and then became a PT and worked out of a commercial gym for a while. I always knew I wanted to teach it but I wanted to make sure I was as good as I could be.

This is where Grandmaster A came in. I had mentioned that I wanted to do this a couple of years ago and he was so encouraging and offered to help me on my way. Without him none of this would have been possible and I’d never have had the confidence to teach, I owe him so much.

I didn’t start out confident in this, I think I cried before my first class because I was so nervous, but if Dan had never have taken me in, I wouldn’t be where I am now. So if you’re nervous or afraid, or are thinking of having a go, just try. Whatever it is, give it a go, you never know where it will lead!

We thought it was about time to introduce ourselves properly!

I’m Danny Thomas, one half of A1. I’ve been doing Muay Thai for around 37 years give it take a year or so. I started when I was 7 years old and the reason I started this was because I wanted to be different to everyone else. They were doing karate and kung fu, and my Dad told me about this and asked me if I wanted to try. As they say, the rest is history!

Soon after, I was training as often as I could, 7 days a week if I could push it. My Dad started to join in, then my Mum and soon after my two sisters.

I’ve been a part of this sport for pretty much my whole life. I’ve had the opportunity to corner for champions, learn from some of the best, travelled abroad with fighters and fought myself.

After becoming a black belt and training, I wanted to teach but first wanted to make sure I could pass on as much as possible.

I had met Grandmaster A when I was a young boy and went back later on to further my skills. It is because of him I am now Kru Muay Thai.

The idea for A1 wasn’t something that developed over night. There has been years of thought into this and now felt like the right time for us to open up and pass on what we know and what we are still learning.

A1 is a safe space for anyone that wishes to learn the traditions, respect and beautiful art that is Muay Thai. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned fighter, you will always be welcome here with us.
