Fundamentals Kickboxing & Muay Thai

Spartan Academy’s Fundamentals Kickboxing/Muay Thai program offers a comprehensive 3-month curriculum designed specifically for adult men and women in Columbia, Irmo, and neighboring South Carolina communities who are new to striking arts. This beginner-focused course creates a structured learning environment where you’ll develop essential striking skills from the ground up, including proper stance, effective footwork, powerful punches, devastating kicks, precise elbow strikes, impactful knee techniques, and critical defensive movements. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your determination and willingness to learn the art of striking the right way, from your very first session.

Throughout each dynamic training session, our experienced instructors guide you through progressive drills designed to build timing, accuracy, and control. You’ll practice combinations on pads and bags, develop defensive reflexes through partner drills, and gradually integrate your skills into fluid sequences. The curriculum methodically builds your striking arsenal while simultaneously improving your cardiovascular fitness, core strength, and overall body coordination. Every class balances technical instruction with energetic workouts that make learning both effective and enjoyable.

After completing the comprehensive 3-month Fundamentals program, you’ll advance into our regular Kickboxing classes where you can continue refining your techniques and develop sparring skills alongside more experienced practitioners. This natural progression ensures you build on your solid foundation while constantly challenging yourself to reach new levels of proficiency. The skills you develop here translate beyond the gym—enhancing your fitness, confidence, and personal discipline in all areas of life.
