The Belfast page lists 4 gyms, all 4 scored, when we re-read it on 10 Oct 2026. It sits under the United Kingdom directory. Prokick states £40 a month. Two other gyms state drop-ins of £12 and £10. We do not average those drop-ins.
Key facts:
- 4 listings on the UK country page, re-read 10 Oct 2026. Listings checked 28 Sep 2026.
- No adult drop-in median is published for Belfast in the price sample. No UK median is published while the price-sample method is checked by hand.
- 293 of 671 UK listings state beginner classes. That is a national count, not a Belfast count, unless this page says otherwise.
- Rankings use nine published facts. They are not a star rating and not a fee.
Illustrative picture
What 4 listings means
4 is the directory count for Belfast, from the country page re-read on 10 Oct 2026. It is not the price sample. The sample is a different file of 1,116 rows, used for medians, and its city counts do not match the directory. London is 131 in the directory and 103 in the sample. Use 4 when you say how many gyms we list in Belfast.
A listing is a gym we have a page for. A scored gym is one with at least five of the nine published facts filled in. Where this page does not give a scored count, we did not re-open that city's ranking list on 10 Oct 2026, and we will not guess it.
Prices
Prokick, BT5 5BD, states a monthly fee of £40, dated 28 Sep 2026, and scores 55 out of 100. Fight Academy Ireland, BT17 0HE, states a drop-in of £12 and scores 50. NakTae Belfast states a drop-in of £10 and scores 45. IFS MMA Club does not state a price and scores 50. Do not average £12 and £10 into a Belfast drop-in median. Two fees are not the three-fee bar we use elsewhere, and a monthly fee is not a drop-in. No UK median is published while the price-sample method is checked by hand.
The catalogue first-class pair, gloves plus 4.5 m wraps, is £58.98 at catalogue prices on 8 Oct 2026. Many gyms lend gloves for a trial. Ask before you buy. Most UK gyms that state a sparring weight ask for 16oz. That is Atlas copy from 8 Oct 2026, not a by-law. Confirm it with the coach.
Beginners
Nationally, 293 of 671 listings state beginner classes, and 289 state kids' classes. Those sentences are not a promise that every Belfast gym runs a fundamentals hour. Open the listing. If the beginner line is blank, the gym has not stated it. Blank is not a no.
Week one at a normal gym is stance, a jab, a cross, and a teep, not sparring. If a gym sells you a fight or a full kit before that month is over, slow down. The beginners guide is the longer version of that advice.
How the ranking works, if Belfast has one
The live methodology page, read 10 Oct 2026, scores nine published facts out of 100: dedicated Muay Thai 25, a fight team the gym states 15, a public timetable 10, beginner classes 10, kids' classes 10, a stated affiliation 10, women-only classes 5, a free or trial class 5, and years operating at 1 point per 2 years up to 10. A gym is ranked only when at least five criteria can be checked. Missing data scores zero and is shown as not stated. Ties break alphabetically. A city list needs three qualifying gyms. Featured placements are labelled and do not change the order. Google ratings do not enter the score. Paying does not move a row.
The methodology page is /rankings/methodology/. This city guide does not re-order anyone.
Using the directory
All four listings state beginners, kids and a fight team. Fight Academy Ireland and IFS MMA Club also state women-only. The near-me top table stops at cities with 5 gyms, so Belfast's 4 do not appear there. The live city page is the count we use. Postcodes in the extract: Prokick BT5 5BD and Fight Academy Ireland BT17 0HE. We are not reprinting Google star counts. Scores are the nine published facts, not a review.
The postcode tool on the near-me page covers 492 UK listings that have a postcode. It is a filter, not a quality score. Pick the session you can reach on a dark evening, then read that gym's own timetable before you travel.

Questions
How many Muay Thai gyms are in Belfast?
Four listings, all four scored, on the Belfast page re-read 10 Oct 2026. Listings were checked on 28 Sep 2026. The page sits in the United Kingdom directory. Belfast is not in the near-me top table, because that table stops at five gyms. Absence from the top table is not absence from the directory. Check each timetable before you travel, because a score is not a clock.
How much does it cost?
Three named fees, and no median. Prokick states £40 a month. Fight Academy Ireland states a £12 drop-in. NakTae states a £10 drop-in. IFS MMA Club does not state a price. All of those dates in the extract are 28 Sep 2026. Averaging £10 and £12 would pretend we have a drop-in study. We do not. No UK median is published while the price-sample method is checked by hand. Do not import a national figure into Belfast.
Are there beginner classes?
All four listings state beginners: Prokick, Fight Academy Ireland, IFS MMA Club and NakTae. That is a Belfast sentence, from the page we read. It is not the national 293 of 671, though that national count is also true and separate. Women-only is stated at Fight Academy Ireland and IFS MMA Club. Kids' classes are stated at all four. A stated class can still be full. Ask.
What do the scores mean?
Prokick 55, Fight Academy Ireland 50, IFS MMA Club 50, NakTae 45. A gym needs at least five of the nine published facts before it is ranked. All four cleared that bar. Google ratings are not in the score. Paying for a featured label would not move these numbers. The methodology page lists the nine facts and the points. This city guide does not re-order anyone.
