The gym also holds regular grading, allowing people to test their ability without competing in the ring.
Gym History
Darren started the Heywood Thai Boxing Club in 1993, renting a room in another gym in Heywood. In 1996 he decided that the gym needed a full time headquarters, and they moved to their current location, Britannia Mill in Bury. With the help of some friends and a lot of the students he converted an unused unit in the Mill into one of the best full time Thai Boxing gyms in the country. After leaving Master Sken's Sitnarong Camp in 2002 Darren changed the name of the gym from Heywood Thai Boxing Club to G.F.C. Muay Thai.
Gym Philosophy
The gym's Philosophy is simple and straight forward; the instructors at the gym want to offer quality Thai Boxing instruction to as many people as possible regardless of their age, sex, ethnic background and ability. Whilst we have been successful in competition, we realise that not everyone wants to enter the ring and compete. Whatever the person's desires and ability we will do everything we can to help you achieve your desires and potential.
