About the club
HTBC RY is Helsinki’s all-time most successful Thai boxing club. We are the only club in Helsinki investing heavily into women’s and men’s competing and development. As a result of that, some of the best practitioners in Finland and Europe are training with us, many of whom already have experience in world championships and even gold medals. Of the women currently training in our competition group 3/4 belong to the national Thai boxing team of Finland, and half of the men are competing on an international level. Our club is the only one in Finland that offers Thai boxing training 7 nights a week in 7 different training groups. With a 6 month training pass when you’re training e.g. 3 times a week, the price for one training session comes up to only 2.50€! With a valid training pass you can train in instructor-led courses as often as you want.
If you’re interested in participating in the training only as a hobby or to stay in shape, our club also offers you the best selection in town: after the basic course you can move to lady thai or technique group, where the training is geared towards, besides improving your technique, to keep you in shape WITHOUT contact in training.
Welcome to our basic course!
We’ll be glad to answer any of your additional questions: antti.naakka(at)muaythai.fi

Treeniajat löytyvät englanniksi muttei suomeksi?
Moi Aleksi,
Treeniajat löytyvät suomeksi päällimmäisen valikon alta (“Treeniryhmät ja ajat”). Nimesin sen uudelleen, jotta se löytyisi sieltä helpommin myös tuohon tarkoitukseen. Lisäsin myös linkin tänne aikataulun alle. Vaihtoehtoisesti voit käyttää osoitetta http://www.htbc.fi/treenit mikä vie sinut suoraan tuonne osoitteeseen.
Terv.,
Webmaster
i cant speak finnish is that a problem?
and what do i need to start competing and is there a gym ?
and can i signup for 2 courses like thai boxing 1 and 2 at the same time
Is it possible to learn if I do not know Finnish yet?
Yes. Teachers teach the main class in Finnish for practical reasons, but you can ask them about training in English as well when they go around the gym during the session. We have a number of non-Finnish speaking trainees at the gym.
You can also, on a more informal note, ask your partner or the person next to you (although language skills cannot be guaranteed).
Thank you very much
I have just come over the m@il adress, so i guess, i will just ask further questions via e-m@il.
