Muay Thai is a variation of kickboxing known as "the art of eight limbs." It incorporates punches, kicks, knee & elbow strikes, and the stand-up grappling known as a 'clinch.' Dive into the addictive world of Muay Thai and experience an intense workout that sharpens your mind and sculpts your physique. Muay thai is a one-size fits-all approach to hybrid training. You will acquire strength, cardiovascular fitness, power, balance, flexibility, mobility and untapped confidence in your ability to defend yourself.
MMA, or Mixed Martial Arts, is the fastest growing sport in the world, and the sport of The UFC. It combines the precision of striking sports like boxing and Muay Thai with the tactical expertise of grappling disciplines such as BJJ and judo. This ultimate combat experience teaches you to fight effectively both standing, and on the ground, transitioning from powerful strikes to, to wrestling takedowns, to controlling your opponent on the ground and manipulating their limbs and forcing them into submission.
Step onto the mats and discover the art of leverage, technique, and control. This entry-level class is designed for beginners looking to explore the world of grappling, learning how to use an opponent’s weight and movement against them. Develop the skills to escape, control, and submit—whether for sport, self-defence, or pure empowerment.

MELBOURNE’S FIRST WOMEN’S MMA BOOTCAMP
ABOUT VALKYRIES
A Home for Warriors. A Community for Women.
MMA is one of the most empowering sports in the world—but for too long, it’s been a male-dominated space, creating barriers that prevent women from stepping onto the mats. Intimidating gym environments, a lack of women’s-only options, and the stigma surrounding combat sports have left many women feeling unwelcome.
That’s why Valkyries exists.
