Begin With Confidence

This is our first Combat Collective course in Liverpool, and it’s built the same way every one of our beginner courses is: slowly, clearly, and without any assumption that you’ve done this before.

Over four weeks at Masda Gym, you’ll learn the basics of Muay Thai in a women’s-only space, alongside other women who are starting from exactly the same place as you. No experience needed. If you’re new to training and don’t have gloves yet, don’t worry — you can buy a pair at the gym before your first class.

Meet Your Coach

Coach Mia Trevorrow

Mia is one of the coaches leading the Liverpool course, training out of Masda Gym. As the ISKA British Champion and currently ranked 8th globally, she recently made her debut for ONE Championship — one of the biggest stages in the sport — winning on her first appearance, and she’s back in action again on 17th July in Lumpinee!

What matters for this course isn’t the fight record, though, it’s how Mia coaches. She works with complete beginners regularly and is known for making people feel comfortable from their very first session, breaking things down clearly and at a pace that makes sense whether you’re a complete beginner or have been training for years. You’ll be learning from someone competing at an exceptional level, in a room built to be welcoming rather than intimidating.

Who It’s For?

This course is for:

Complete beginners who have never trained in Muay Thai or any combat sport before.
Women who want a women’s-only environment to learn in, without feeling like they need to keep up with anyone else.
Anyone who’s felt nervous about starting something like this — this course exists to take that nervousness away.

You don’t need to be fit, flexible, or coordinated to start. You just need to be willing to show up.

Why Join?

Clarity and confidence

No guesswork and no intimidation. You get step by step guidance that makes the basics feel simple and doable.

Community

Train with women who are also starting out. No egos only encouragement and a friendly team feel.

Expert coaching

Coaches who know how to support beginners and explain technique clearly so you progress with confidence.

Real progress

From your first jab to your first clinch drills you will see clear gains week by week.

Inner and outer strength

Build fitness and technique along with the self belief that comes from showing up and learning something new.

Got questions? We’ve got you.

Frequently asked questions

Here are the answers to the things people ask us most.

Do I Need Any Experience?

No. This course is built for complete beginners. Most people who join have never done Muay Thai, or any combat sport, before.

Is It Really Women’s Only?

Yes. All our coaches and classes are women’s only.

What Should I Bring?

Gloves (8–12oz) and hand wraps — cloth wraps are preferable — plus water and comfortable workout clothes. You can buy gloves and wraps at Masda Gym if you don’t already have your own.

What’s Included?

All 8 sessions across the 4-week course, coaching from Mia and the Masda Gym team, and use of pads, bags and the strength & conditioning area.

How Much Does It Cost?

Price TBC for the full 4-week course (8 sessions).

What If I Can’t Make Every Session?

Get in touch with the team before the course starts and they’ll help you find the best way to keep up.

What Happens After the Course?

This course is the start of something, not a one-off. Masda Gym is launching ongoing women’s-only Muay Thai classes, so once your four weeks are up you’ll be able to move straight into them — same coaches, same community, same welcoming space. You’ll already know the basics, you’ll know the space, and you’ll know some of the women you’ll be training alongside.
