3pm Saturday Mixed Levels (Intro + Intermediate)

Bender Defenders host a weekly Saturday Muay Thai class for queer and trans people of mixed levels at Mulberry Hall in Bethnal Green.

Bender Defenders run this Muay Thai class where queer and trans people train together through martial arts and partner work. After a shared warmup the group splits into an intro level, covering the basics with pads and gloves, and an intermediate level practising advanced techniques and sparring drills (gumshield required). Each week covers different strikes, clinching, movement and defences, with a playful, community-focused approach to fitness welcoming all abilities.
