THAILAND 2027 – EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST! 🇹🇭

After another incredible trip this year, we're now looking ahead to Thailand 2027.

📅 Proposed Dates:
2nd July – 16th July 2027

This post is simply to gauge interest.

There is absolutely NO obligation to attend. We're simply looking to see who may be interested so we can begin planning accommodation, training, transport and group activities.

In previous years, our trips have been made up predominantly of our younger students. For 2027 we'd love to build a group that includes more teenagers and adults, creating an even bigger team experience both on and off the mats.

Whether your goal is to:
- Improve your Muay Thai
- Experience authentic Thai culture
- Challenge yourself outside your comfort zone
- Train where Muay Thai was born

..this trip is something truly special.

Every child starts somewhere.

Not every child starts out confident.

Not every child is naturally talented.

Not every child loves challenges.

But every child has the potential to grow.

At TMAA, martial arts isn't just about learning to punch and kick.

It's about belonging to a positive community, developing new skills, building confidence through achievement, and eventually becoming someone younger students look up to.

That journey starts with one class.

If you've been thinking about martial arts for your child, we'd love to welcome them for a FREE 1-Week Trial.
