About the Gym

Set in Costa da Caparica, a fishing village across the bridge from Lisbon, this gym leans hard into tradition: Muay Thai plus Muay Boran, taught by Kru Rúben Avelar, billed as a Muay Thai champion of Portugal and Spain. The community angle is genuine — the gym even runs a local 'Fisherman's Tournament' tying fights to the town's heritage. Reviewers describe it as a tight-knit, multinational group suited to everyone from kids to pros. Worth the short trip out of the centre if you want authentic, tradition-focused training near the ocean.
