# Karova Muay Thai
Karova Muay Thai is a specialist boxing club located in Islington, North London, dedicated to teaching authentic Muay Thai—the ancient Thai combat sport known as 'the art of eight limbs'. The gym caters to everyone from complete beginners seeking to learn in a welcoming environment through to advanced practitioners looking to compete at fighting level.
The club distinguishes itself through its personalised approach and experienced coaching. Head Coach Paul Karova, alongside Phil, delivers tailored instruction across three distinct class types: General Muay Thai sessions for mixed abilities, invitation-only Sparring classes for advanced members, and bespoke Private lessons combining dedicated training with customised diet plans. This tiered structure ensures newcomers aren't intimidated whilst experienced Nak Muays receive the challenge they need.
Operating from Islington Boxing Club, Karova offers flexible scheduling with early morning (6:00 AM) and evening (7:45 PM) group sessions throughout the week, plus extended Saturday availability. The affordable group class pricing (£12 per session or £100 for 10 classes) makes training accessible, whilst private lessons serve those seeking intensive, goal-focused development.
What truly sets Karova apart is its emphasis on creating a controlled, friendly environment where technical excellence and genuine progression are prioritised over ego. Whether you're seeking fitness, self-defence, competitive training or simply exploring a new discipline, Karova delivers authentic Muay Thai instruction grounded in respect for the sport's traditions.
