​Tuesday and Thursday are our Fundamentals classes. This is where you begin to learn all the different striking and how to defend yourself. We use a mix of pad work and drills often with a partner. ​ These classes are run by the Matua Scott. He has been the head coach since 2013 and has trained all the fighters from novice, pro, international champions and world ranked competitors.  He is one of New Zealand's leading MuayThai officials, the guy who trains New Zealand's  referees and judges for the  World Boxing Council - MuayThai ,  and the New Zealand national coach for the 2026 world games., was the WBC MuayThai NZ committee chairman 2023-2026, and continues to be a part of the committee,  rankings advisor and sanctioning official. ​

​

New for spring 2026, this class is now for ages 14 and over.  After experimenting with running a teens class we noticed that this age group work better being around older people by learning  how to hold conversation with adults properly and more important reigning in teenage egos.  It also is a chance for them to learn how to adapt to the world outside of their usual comfort zones (the couch, mates bedroom.... an hour away from a screen!) . It also works well for the adults who get to be pushed a bit harder from having some youthful energy and  encouragement when it is needed. 

​

Lucky Nine Gym is a safe place for all students, we do not tolerate poor behavior in or out of the gym and value support, respect and honesty no matter how dire the situation. 

​

It's a great way to burn off some steam after a tough day at work, at school or just a break away from the house. 

This is a great opportunity to learn from our experienced coaches and often being paired with our experienced fighters who can add value and explanations to learning the basic techniques.
