Onça Muaythai Fight Team Brasil - OMT
Rio de Janeiro

This was the first Muay Thai class in Vidigal and the children's programme is central to what it does, with Airton Barbosa treated by reviewers as much a mentor as a coach. Traditional training and a strong sense of team come up throughout. Visitors from outside describe an unusually warm reception. Vidigal is a hillside community above Leblon, so factor in the climb and ask about the best way up.
