About the Minotaur Gym

The Minotaur Thai Boxing gym is a fun, friendly and professional place to train. Established in 1993 by Paul Taylor and Ralph Beale our original sessions were run in Bushey and Welwyn Garden City. Today we run classes in Burnt Oak, Edgeware and in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

We have a reputation for producing high calibre champions at national and international level where we currently hold titles at Area, English, British, European and World level. Our trainers firmly believe in teaching authentic Muay Thai. Read more about them below.
