The gym breathes heat and motion: rubber soles slap mat, trainers call in clipped Thai, and the heavy bag sways like a metronome daring you to time your strike. Open shutters admit a humid sea breeze and the salt-tinted air of Phuket, while fans push the heat around the room as you wrap your hands and prepare to learn the "science of eight limbs."

Hydrate before class
Drink water in the hour before training and take small sips during breaks; tropical humidity increases sweat rate.
Wear breathable training clothes
Light shorts and a moisture-wicking top help with mobility and comfort during high-intensity intervals.
Arrive early to wrap hands
Hand wraps not always provided—arrive 10–15 minutes early to wrap properly or request assistance from staff.
Communicate injuries
Tell the instructor about recent joint or heart issues so drills can be modified to reduce risk.
Hand wraps
Protect knuckles and wrists during pad and bag work; improve stability when striking.
Moisture-wicking shorts/shirt
Lightweight fabric keeps you cooler and allows full range of motion for kicks and knees.

Small towel
Useful for wiping sweat between rounds; many classes provide towels but bring one just in case.
