NORTH Tawton Rugby Club is now the home for weekly Thai boxing sessions for children and Thai fitness classes for adults.

The junior Thai boxing classes, for 8 to 15-year-olds, will not only teach children self-defence, but help to build a good attitude, mastering boxing skills in a fun and relaxed environment.

The classes will take place every Monday from 6pm to 7pm. Each class costs £3.

The adult Thai fitness classes for those 16 and above take place weekly on Monday nights from 7.15pm to 8.15pm, and cost £4 per class. They will build fitness and strength through Thai disciplines, with the full body workout helping participants lose weight and gain new skills.

The classes will be run by Steve Pender, who has 16 years' experience in Thai boxing coaching, and has coached for Team GB in the World Muay Thai Federation Championships, and Christi Campbell, who turned professional at 15 and is a WPMF World Champion in Muay Thai boxing.
