Muay Thai & Mixed Martial Arts Classes in Sunninghill

Yes, absolutely! While Muay Thai and MMA involve a variety of striking techniques, you will definitely learn key boxing fundamentals in both classes. In Muay Thai, you’ll master essential punches, including jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts, which are integral to both Muay Thai and MMA. Additionally, our MMA classes incorporate boxing techniques alongside other disciplines, helping you develop strong striking skills for both stand-up and cage work. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, our classes will teach you the core principles of boxing and how to apply them in real-world scenarios.

Yes, here at QW we take uniform very seriously. We have both a BJJ uniform consisting of our QW white Gi, black rash guard and tights and then our Nogi/MMA uniform is our QW black rash guard, tights and grappling shorts. We require tights to be worn under your shorts as this not only keeps your muscle warm during training but also is more hygienic and protects your skin. 

If you are attending our 7 Day Free Trial classes, during that time we provide you with a rash guard, shorts as well as gloves and shin pads.  After that you can purchase all the items of the QW uniform from us.

Muay Thai and MMA are fantastic martial arts for women, providing self-defense skills, boosting confidence, and fostering a sense of empowerment. Women of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced fighters, train alongside one another, and female athletes are making significant strides in both sports. The community is supportive and welcoming, with more women joining every day. These classes focus on mastering striking techniques, building strength, and developing a resilient mindset, all while helping you gain the skills to defend yourself in real-life situations.

Yes! Muay Thai and MMA  is for all fitness levels. We offer beginner-friendly classes that focus on building strength, stamina, and technique. Martial Arts  is an excellent way to improve your fitness over time, regardless of where you’re starting.

Learning and progression is a subjective experience, ultimately the more you put in the quicker you will learn the skill. At QW we have fostered an environment to fast track your learning progress; a carefully constructed and layered curriculum and additional tools such as the QuanWessels Infinity App.However the onus is still on the student to put in the work by showing up and participating. 

Definitely! Learning striking or MMA alongside BJJ won’t hold back your progress—in fact, it can help speed it up. Each style complements the other, and you’ll likely see faster growth by training in multiple areas. Ultimately, we want our students to become well-rounded martial artists, not just specialists in one style.

Each athlete’s journey is unique, and the timeline to competition varies based on individual progress. If you’re interested in competing in MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ, or any other style, we offer a structured program designed to guide you from a complete beginner to an elite athlete. However, we maintain high standards and expect those who represent the QuanWessels name to do so with the utmost respect and dedication. There is no specific time frame for when someone will be ready to compete, as we believe in a gradual approach to ensure you’re fully prepared—rushing the process can often lead to injuries. We prioritise your long-term growth and safety above all else.

Much like you wouldn’t attempt to run before learning to walk, we need to ensure that you’ve built a solid foundation of skills before advancing to higher-level classes. Our goal as coaches is to help you develop the necessary techniques and confidence to progress safely, minimising the risk of injury. If you have previous experience, that’s fantastic! Please speak with a coach before class, as they may need to assess your skill level before promoting you to the next class.

Yes, adhering to these washing instructions you will get the longest wear out of your gear. Rash guards, tights and training shorts should also be washed in 40℃ water and no hotter as it can damage the material. (tip: add some bicarb soda into the machine and use white vinegar as ‘softener’ this helps eliminate odours). Lastly, NEVER put gear in the tumble dryer. 

As for your gloves and shin pads, make sure to air them out well after each session, never in direct sunlight though. And adding some dry bicarb on the insides can help absorb the sweat and separating (or else you will have a volcano situation) you can also spray some white vinegar with essential oils like tea tree, peppermint and eucalyptus.
