TRAINING IN PHUKET

Amateur MMA classes in Phuket for beginners and fighters

Amateur MMA at Lions is for athletes building toward first amateur bouts, strikers or grapplers filling holes in their game, and curious beginners who want to understand how disciplines connect before committing to fight camp.

Morning blocks rotate focus by day — sparring, wall wrestling, BJJ for MMA — so a full week covers the fight game. Evening MMA Amateur (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 18:00) is the best entry if you have never trained mixed rules.

Read our blog on what to expect at your first MMA class if you are nervous about stepping on the mat.

Phuket amateur MMA athletes often split time between striking gyms and pure BJJ schools. Lions keeps everything under one roof on Soi Ta-iad — ideal for travelers on monthly passes and locals building fight records in Thailand.

Keywords like MMA classes Phuket beginners point to gyms that rush sparring on day one. Our beginner slots isolate fundamentals; sparring lanes open when coaches agree you are ready.

Drop-in 450 THB or use weekly/monthly pricing. WhatsApp us your background (striking, grappling, none) so we recommend Monday spar vs Tuesday beginner class.

What the class involves

  • Integrated striking from Muay Thai and boxing coaches
  • Wrestling entries, cage wall work, and takedown defense for MMA rules
  • BJJ for MMA — pins, submissions, and ground-and-pound awareness
  • MMA sparring with appropriate gear when coaches clear your level
  • Beginner MMA classes Tuesday and Thursday evenings — fundamentals without chaos
  • Open mats Saturday to drill weaknesses or extra sparring
