Hydrate before and during class
Bangkok’s humidity makes fluid loss rapid; drink water before arrival and use provided breaks to sip.
Wear flexible, breathable clothing
Light shorts and a moisture-wicking shirt allow full range for kicks and knees and help with cooling.
Protect your hands
Use hand wraps if you have them — gloves are supplied but wraps stabilize knuckles and wrists for pad work.
Arrive 15 minutes early
Early arrival lets you change, meet the trainer, and get a tailored warm-up — late arrivals reduce your session time.
Athletic shorts and moisture-wicking shirt
Allows full range of motion and helps manage sweat in Bangkok’s heat.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is critical during intense pad rounds in a humid gym.
Hand wraps
Provides wrist and knuckle support for repeated striking; optional but recommended for comfort.
