Kick boxing class at champ’s studio
Myanmar kick boxing Let Htway has gained international attention through MMA (mixed martial arts) cage fighting competitions. It is very similar to Muay Thai but in the fights in Myanmar gloves are not used. Retired former Let Htway champion has recently started his own gym in Yangon. Don’t expect fancy facilities but real a session at a local boxing gym. You don’t need to be super fit nor a boxer to join a class. Just bring your workout clothes and be prepared for a good 1hr sweat. Your coach will first guide you through some warm up exercises and then move on to pad work to train your punches and kicks. There will be also some bag work, rope skipping and sit ups and if you want to use weights after the class you can. There is a shower at the gym, so just bring along training wear and towel with you and you are ready go for next Yangon adventure after the session.
