About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Located in central Auckland (Puketapapa), we welcome all ages, skill levels, and genders. We don’t see ourselves as just a gym — we’re a community, a club of like-minded people who share the same passion and interests.
Our Story
Founded by two dedicated trainers from America and Russia, we are committed to promoting the art of Muay Thai and building a vibrant community.
Inspired by the humorous wisdom of "7 ate 9," we believe that with the right technique, even the smallest can overcome the largest challenges.
Join us and discover how skill can triumph over sheer strength, empowering you to face life's obstacles head-on!
