Instructors are always there to answer questions and ensure proper technique is being practiced. We emphasize safety, so when we practice we wear appropriate protective gear. As you advance, you’ll practice techniques with partners and you can also participate in optional light sparring. Whether you’re learning basics or looking to fine tune your Muay Thai fighting skills Wesley Chapel MMA has you covered.
