Muay Thai in Norway

Muay Thai, or Thai boxing, uses fists, elbows, knees and shins, the “eight limbs”. Training is serious conditioning on top of technique, and you can keep at it for years without hard sparring if you have no plans to compete.

25 clubs across 17 Norwegian towns have muay thai on the schedule. All of them say so on their own pages — none are inferred. The clubs that publish a price sit at 200–899 kr a month.

About the sport: Muay Thai

What an ordinary class looks like

Skipping or shadow work to warm up, technique on pads in pairs, clinch work, and conditioning at the end. Sparring is optional in the great majority of Norwegian clubs, and how hard it goes is agreed between the two partners. The coach does not dictate it.

Kit and cost

The club lends gloves and shin guards for the first few sessions. Your own hand wraps cost under 200 kroner and are worth buying immediately; gloves, shin guards and a mouthguard come once you know you are staying. Membership typically runs 400 to 800 kroner a month.

Addresses and prices are read automatically off the clubs' websites, and the organisation number is matched automatically against the Norwegian company register. All of it may be wrong, outdated, for a different class (kids, student, family), or for a different legal entity than the one running the training. The price is usually an adult membership, excluding joining fees and licences. If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.

Questions about Muay Thai

Do I have to spar in Muay Thai?

No. Sparring is its own slot in the week at most Norwegian clubs, and you can train pads, bags and clinch for years without taking part.

What do I need for my first Muay Thai class?

Shorts, a t-shirt and water. Gloves and shin guards are lent by the club; hand wraps are the first thing worth buying yourself.

Muay Thai or kickboxing?

Muay Thai adds elbows, knees and the clinch; kickboxing has fewer tools and a slightly lower barrier. If the club near you only trains one of them, the choice is made.
