Hello,
I am from the U.S. and it looks like I might be moving to Dubai sometime next year. I've been taking Muay Thai and Grappling for the past few months and was wondering if there is anyplace in Dubai that offers MMA under one roof.
Thanks in advance for your help.

many thanks to burton for his informative post, see I live in Satwa and all I could find on the net before i stumbled upon this board was the the fightacademy in al waheda, just way off and not doable considering the traffic.

Went down to Top Sports this evening, great training!

Again thanks for the reply burton!

No, actually Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is an offshoot of Jiu-jitsu. Basically its the the moves you see on the ground during a UFC or MMA competition. I was hoping that there would be some places in Dubai that teach it. Abu Dhabi has
a big tournament every year with people all over the world competing. So I was thinking maybe there would be some schools in Dubai.

Check out the Art of Power Center gym found at the top floor of Al Hana Centre in Mankhool Road, Satwa. They also teach Kung-fu.

Kickboxing class in Dubai (Mauy Thai) Nov 06, 2008

Muay Thai (kickboxing) is also known as 'The Science of Eight Limbs' as the hands, feet, elbows and knees are all used extensively in this art.

Part martial art, part workout, this class will help you build strength, agility, and confidence as you learn the basics of Thailand’s national sport. This class will teach you the basic skills of Thai boxing, including punching, holds, knee and elbow strikes, and both offensive and defensive kicking, as well as movement and overall defense. Combining boxing-style circuit training with skill development in one of the world’s most devastating martial arts, this class will get you “fighting fit.”

Muay Thai class's private and group class.

Muay Thai for female? Jul 16, 2009
Hi there,

I am a 25 year old female also new ish to Dubai. I know this is a relatively old posting but it's the closest I could find to finding a good muay thai gym here.

It seems that this Top Sports place is best to go to, it also conveniently to my work place. Just wondering if it is female friendly at all? I'm not bothered so much if there aren't any females there, but it helps when the guys don't all look down at you as soon as you enter the class! I'm not a pro as I've trained on and off for about 2 years but would still consider myself a beginner.

Any advice on this would be excellent.

thanks in advance.

Maybe you can just go and check it out in person. Hopefully it is female friendly there!

I've just started kickboxing (outside UAE) and the morning sessions have mostly women e.g. housewives :), while the evening sessions have mostly men.

Hi there1 I know someone doing a freestyle kickboxing by a Filipino ex- kickboxing champ. He is my former personal trainer when I was in Dubai ( back in UK now) , you can contact him on this number 050-6983213. What I know is he is still doing it, but not sure if you will get a slot as he has more than enough students because he is a nice guy and an excellent teacher, just try anyway.Cheers!
