Bender Defenders
The Sunroom, 7.30pm to 8.30pm. Intermediate level only.
A weekly intermediate-level Muay Thai class from Bender Defenders, a queer and trans martial arts community, in the Sunroom. Sessions run through a warm-up and introductions, around 40 minutes of strikes, footwork, defence and sparring drills with a partner, then games and a stretch.
The club welcomes queers of all abilities, especially anyone who doesn't feel at home in mainstream gyms, and keeps toxic fitness culture out of the room: listen to your body, take breaks and go at your own pace. Bring your own gloves, shin pads and mouthguard, clothes to move in and a water bottle, and arrive 10 minutes early. 18+.
Price: £7. Free spaces are reserved every week for people on a low income or unwaged, trans women and transfeminine people, and QTBIPOC: email the.bender.defenders@gmail.com. Book with the button below.
