Are you the owner of SO8 Muay Thai?
Falmouth's SO8 Muay Thai Gym, also known as the Science of Eight, offers a modern and dynamic martial art experience. Whether you seek fitness, flexibility, weight loss, self-confidence, or self-protection, SO8 is the perfect place to start your journey. The gym prides itself on its friendly and experienced instructors, who have trained and competed in Muay Thai and are passionate about sharing their knowledge.
Located behind the Falmouth Sports Club on Western Terrace, Falmouth, TR11 4QJ, SO8 is Cornwall's longest established Muay Thai gym. Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing, is an ancient fighting system from Thailand. Students at SO8 learn the art of using hands, elbows, knees, and legs in combat, as well as clinch and throw/sweep techniques. The name SO8, or Science of Eight, refers to the eight parts of the body used in Muay Thai: two hands, two elbows, two knees, and two feet/legs.
SO8 Gym caters to students of all ages, who train in Muay Thai for various reasons. The sport offers excellent fitness, flexibility, confidence-building, and practical self-protection skills. Students also have the opportunity to compete at semi-contact or full-contact levels. Additionally, the gym offers fitness classes and realistic self-protection (self-defence) training.
These classes are perfect for those looking to get in shape, build confidence, or learn self-defence without engaging in competitive fighting.
At SO8, everyone receives a warm and friendly welcome. Adult classes are open to individuals aged fourteen and above and are suitable for any fitness level. Juniors have separate training sessions starting from age six. The gym is committed to a strict no bullying or inflated egos policy, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all members.
The team at SO8 consists of experienced and dedicated instructors. Ian Davies, the founder and chief instructor of SO8, began his Muay Thai journey in 1986. Despite a brief hiatus due to a lack of training facilities in Cornwall, he established Sitnarong Falmouth in 1992 with the blessings of Master Sken. Ian has had the privilege of training under esteemed teachers such as Master Sken & Master Bob, Master Pimu, and Kru Sandy Holt.
Whether you aspire to achieve peak physical condition, boost your confidence, pursue a new hobby, or compete and become a champion, SO8 Muay Thai Gym is here to support you. The welcoming atmosphere and dedicated instructors will guide you towards achieving your goals. Visit SO8's website for more information, or contact them directly.
