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.

Jai Sua founder Rob Carry set up Jai Sua Muay Thai in 2014 after fighting for Warriors Muay Thai Dublin, Waterford Muay Thai, Chakrit Muay Thai Bangkok and Fairtex Pattaya.

 

Rob competed both in amateur and pro levels in Ireland and Thailand.

​

Rob fought most recently at a Muay Thai event in JF Stadium Pattaya in 2023 winning by decision. At 42 years of age, Rob is the oldest ranked professional fighter in Ireland.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assign, waive and release any and all rights to any claim for damages you may or might have against Jai Sua Muay Thai or its staff, instructors or coaches for any injury or damage suffered by you during my participation in, and/or arising from, any sports activity (including Muay-Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, PT, Fitness &Conditioning, Bag Circuit Training and Sparring) organised or provided by Jai Sua Muay Thai.
