Brand new?
You don't need to be fit, strong or experienced to start Muay Thai; training will bring that. Our coach Jon will teach you the fundamentals step by step, helping you learn safely and confidently.
Experienced?
Jon’s classes are mixed ability and will adapt to the level of the class. He is developing his own system of movement and as an experienced practitioner himself with a deep knowledge of the art that everyone can learn from.
No experience necessary. Your first class is free.
What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai, known as the 'Art of Eight Limbs,' is a dynamic striking system using punches, elbows, knees, kicks, and clinches. At Myriad, our classes focus on striking concepts, mechanics, partner pad work, footwork, and functional conditioning. It's an all-round workout that builds real skill, confidence, and fitness in a supportive, high-energy environment.
The Coach
Jonathan is a multidisciplinary artist and martial practitioner who weaves striking, grappling, and performance art practices into a grounded study of embodiment. Drawing from a diverse lineage, he bridges technical discipline with deep self-inquiry. He provides training in Muay Thai, Kickboxing, movement and mobility training.
Jon began early in Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, and Wing Chun, later expanding into Balintawak Escrima, K1, Wrestling, and Judo. His approach refines sharp, efficient striking while cultivating a resilient and embodied sense of self. Strength is expressed through clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. All of our classes are designed for all levels, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Conditioning develops naturally as you train and you can always work at your own pace.
-
Comfortable, breathable sportswear like shorts and a t-shirt (without pockets or zips to avoid snagging) or a rashguard. We train barefoot on the mats. Please remove all jewellery and tie up long hair.
-
For your first few sessions you can borrow gloves from the gym. As you train more regularly we recommend investing in your own 14oz or 16oz gloves, hand wraps, and shin guards for comfort and hygiene.
-
Regular classes focus primarily on pad work, partner drills and movement mechanics. Contact is always scaled to your experience level: beginners engage in light, structured movement games (“play”) to build timing confidence safely, while formal sparring is kept separate, optional, and reserved for students with solid mechanics and coach approval.
