New Blood Muay Thai
A dedicated Muay Thai and kickboxing gym in Alicante under coach Tomas, repeatedly called one of the best striking coaches in the region.
Muay Thai in Alicante is a small but real scene, a few dedicated Thai boxing gyms scattered between the city centre and the surrounding towns, alongside a wider mix of combat-sports academies. Find your ideal gym below.
Alicante will not overwhelm you with options the way Bangkok or even Barcelona does, but the Muay Thai here is genuine. The clearest picks are the dedicated gyms: New Blood Muay Thai in the city, Jai Dee in San Vicente del Raspeig, and Snake Thai Boxing further south in Dolores. SAVAGE in central Alicante runs a structured Muay Thai program for adults and kids alongside boxing and MMA. Beyond those, several academies fold Muay Thai into a broader mix of BJJ, boxing or kickboxing, so it is worth checking whether a place teaches pure Muay Thai or offers it as one class among many. The city even has a real combat-sports pedigree: Climent Club, the MMA gym that produced UFC champion Ilia Topuria, sits in central Alicante and offers Muay Thai among its disciplines, though MMA and BJJ are its heart. The scene is Spanish-speaking at its core, but a few gyms are used to English speakers and travellers, and monthly memberships are affordable by Western European standards, roughly in the 30 to 60 euro range at the gyms that publish prices. Most classes run mornings and evenings to fit work, with options for kids as well as adults.
