CLUB PHILOSOPHY

Here at MSA Huddersfield Thai boxing we believe that the benefits of Muay-Thai should be accessible to all. It is also our ambition to offer a real sense of progression and learning to all our students through inter-club competition and the grading syllabus. We are a high quality, friendly and dedicated club. Our beliefs are inextricably linked to those of Grand Master Sken and his MSA organisation for more information go to http://www.mastersken.com/. We do not exist merely to create champion fighters in the ring, our aim is to create champions in life! Through our well structured teachings we believe that the health and social benefits that long term training provides can fundamentally change peoples lives by increasing self-control, confidence and self belief.

Learning never ends!
