Muay Thai in Birmingham: 18 gyms, 2 with published prices (Nov 2026)

Birmingham has 18 Muay Thai gyms on the Atlas directory, five of them scored from published facts. Counts were checked 28 Sep 2026 and re-read on 10 Oct 2026. Two prices were re-read the same day: 8 Limbs in Tyseley at £60 a month, and Domin8 in Handsworth with a trial at £12.99. There is no Birmingham drop-in median in the sample. We will not manufacture one from two gyms.

Key facts:

• 18 listed, 5 scored. Scored means enough published facts, not a star rating and not a payment.
• 8 Limbs, Tyseley: monthly £60, gym site, 28 Sep 2026.
• Domin8, Handsworth: trial £12.99, gym site, 28 Sep 2026.
• No UK median is published while the price-sample method is checked by hand. It would not be a Birmingham quote anyway.
• We do not have borough counts inside Birmingham. We will not split the 18 into areas we did not count.

Illustrative picture

Two prices, not an average

£60 a month at 8 Limbs and £12.99 to try Domin8 answer different questions. One is a membership. One is a trial. Putting them in a blender and calling the result "about £36" would be nonsense, so we will not. Ask each gym what month two costs, and what the trial includes.

No London median is published while the price-sample method is checked by hand. Birmingham's named monthly example is £60. One gym is not a city. Do not assume a London figure when you are standing in Tyseley.

Beginners

The UK directory says 293 listings state beginner classes, out of 671. That is national. Birmingham's own beginner facet is the place to filter, if the gym has said it runs one. We have not verified a Birmingham beginner count, so we will not print a number. Eighteen profiles is a list you can open in an evening.

A first class is shorts, a T-shirt and a question about loaner gloves. Sparring on night one is a reason to pick a different one of the 18. The beginners guide covers the month that follows. Kit, if you buy it, starts at £58.98 for the catalogue gloves and wraps.

Choosing among 18

Travel beats brand. A gym in Handsworth and a gym in Tyseley are not interchangeable at 7pm. Look at the map on the directory, then at the two prices above if those gyms are actually near you, then at whether women-only or kids' classes are stated. The national women facet count is 9 UK city facets, not a Birmingham headcount.

Thai boxing is the local name. The class should include knees, elbows and a clinch if it is selling Muay Thai. Rankings that use published facts only: /rankings/united-kingdom/birmingham/.

A note on the price sample

The wider sample counted 21 Birmingham listings, which is not the same as the 18 on the live city page. The sample is 1,116 listings with fields last verified 28 Sep 2026. The city page is the directory re-read on 10 Oct 2026. Use 18 for "how many gyms we list". Use the two named prices for money. Do not average the sample count and the directory count, and do not treat the sample's extra rows as a second Birmingham that we forgot. They are a different extract.

Kit does not vary by city. Gloves and wraps at catalogue prices are still £58.98 if the trial does not include loaners. Class fees do vary, which is why Domin8's £12.99 trial and 8 Limbs' £60 month are written as themselves.
