YOUR ONE-ON-ONE COACH
JAI SUA - MUAY THAI
About Our Club
Jai Sua was founded in Bray in 2014 and has since grown to become the town's biggest and most successful martial arts club and a huge part of the local community. Our club ethos is guided by the principal that everyone has something to gain from martial arts.
While many of the kids train for fun, to keep in shape and as a social outlet, we also have one of the most successful junior competition teams in the country. We have a string of Dublin, Irish and UK/Ireland champions on our books. We have also built a hugely successful senior competition team and the biggest professional Muay Thai team in the country.
Muay Thai has been growing rapidly across the world and will be a demonstration sport at the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics. It is expected to be a full Olympic sport four years later. Our fighters will be competing fiercely for places on the first ever Irish Olympic Muay Thai team.
We also provide group training to a string of local organisations including the SEK school and adult special needs group Festina Lente.
