Core Education

Combat for survival, period.

Muay Thai Academy International specializes in teaching offensive combat and defensive tactics. For us, fighting is not a sport or an art. It is the means to survive violent confrontations.

We don't teach or practice ring fighting or participate in tournaments, we do not have programs for children, or "cardio kickboxing." We will teach you how to apply combat for survival, period.

Most of the core training is based on Old Style Muay Thai (Muay Chao Chur) and Military Style Muay Thai (Lerdrit).

Beginners Welcome

Interested members of the Academy may receive training in Close Quarter Combat Tactics (CQCT) after they have reached a level of proficiency that has been deemed sufficient by the Principal Instructors.

Traditionally this advanced combative training has been reserved for law enforcement, military, and high-risk operators.

The Schola Training Group has many years of past performance contracting with defense departments and agencies of multiple nation states, teaching various levels of our unarmed, bladed, and impact weapon close quarter combat tactics system.

Psychological preparation is just as important as technique. This section of training builds discipline, composure, and clear decision-making under pressure.

Our instructors use realistic scenario training so students can recognize and control fear, stress, and adrenaline responses while maintaining control and clarity.

Because this program emphasizes practical combat readiness, enrollment is open only to adults 18+, with additional requirements that support safety and readiness standards.

Beginners are welcome at our Academy

Certified Senior Instructors of the Academy are scheduled to supervise the members during all open hours of the Academy.

The training structure encourages members to learn on their own time and pace with plenty of personal supervision and customized training through a personalized program which allows each member to develop their own “style” over a period of time.

Progress is tracked through periodic evaluations based on the member’s private training logs which is kept in-house.

Students are not restricted to any particular blocks of time and hence are allowed to receive an unlimited amount of training for just a flat fee.

The Academy often hosts workshops, and seminars to provide the members a specific body of knowledge within a short period of time. Usually these classes run an hour up to three hours.

Almost all workshops are offered to the members of the Academy at no added cost, however on rare occasions guest instructors are hosted at our Academy for nominal fees.

Current training hours:

Monday through Friday: 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM unlimited training

Saturday: Closed

Sunday: Closed

Members may train during any open hours and are not locked into specific class blocks.

Special classes, workshops, and seminars are announced periodically and may run from one to three hours.

Muay Thai Academy International maintains a modest but well-equipped facility designed for practical combat training.

Most core training equipment is available for member use, with only select personal protection items expected to be brought by each student. Such as boxing gloves, mouth piece, groin cup, hand wraps, head gear, shin guard and protective goggles.

There is no required uniform or belt-ranking attire. Members usually wear comfortable workout clothing that allows movement and controlled contact drills.

Shoes are permitted if they are clean; boxing or martial arts shoes are preferred for traction and floor safety.
