Description
The sparring class is where you can test all the techniques
you have learned from all your muay thai classes. We spar
progressively from jabs only, to hands, feet, clinch, and
finally using all weapons together. This class is conducted
in a full size 20’ X 20’ raised ring.

History
There has always been a need to test our skills without the
fear of being badly injured or hurt. The Kombat Arts Training Academy created the sparring
class to give fighters, beginners to advanced, an arena to
fine tune and test their skills under a safe and fun environment.

Class Format
There is usually a very short warm up because most of the
students that participate have just finished the Muay Thai
class and then progressive sparring follows, varying from
week to week. Each student is given advice accordingly, to
improve their game. The class finishes with a full contact
sparring session using all weapons. Every round is 2 to 3
minutes long with 30 to 60 seconds break.
