Description
What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai — known as the Art of 8 Limbs — is one of the most dynamic striking martial arts, using punches, kicks, knees, elbows, sweeps, and a standing clinch. Its techniques are simple, efficient, and incredibly powerful.
At Lancaster University Muay Thai, we’ve built a strong reputation, competing at fight nights and interclubs with Durham, Warwick, Glasgow, York, UCL, KCL and at the 2024 & 2025 MTGB University Championships. We’ve also hosted our own fight night at the Sugarhouse nightclub, and made history by running the first-ever Muay Thai/Kickboxing event at ROSES (24/25), both in collaboration with LU Kickboxing. Along the way, we’ve welcomed world-class fighters for seminars, including Jonathan Haggerty (ONE World Champion), Liam Harrison (British Muay Thai legend), and Joe Ryan (WBC & Rajadamnern Champion).
For those ready to take it further, we have a Competition Squad for members who want to step into the ring and push their Muay Thai journey beyond the mats.
But we’re more than just training. Our society is a vibrant community with regular socials — from movie nights and BBQs to nights out — helping members forge lasting friendships.
Whether your goal is to sharpen your skills, compete, or simply join a welcoming community, Lancaster University Muay Thai has something for you.
Join us, and experience Muay Thai on and off the mats!
