Fight Night!

Twice a year we host our famous biannual Fight Nights! This guaranteed highlight of your semester sets our fighters up against other University Muay Thai clubs all around the UK  in an unforgettable night packed with punches, kicks and an electric atmosphere! Dates this year are: 13th November 2026 and 26th February 2027.

Social Events

Alongside our Fight Nights, we also host fortnightly themed socials, the perfect place to meet new people, especially if you’re new to Glasgow! These socials run alongside several marquee social events throughout the year, including the Fall Ball, GUSA Ball, Christmas Dinner and Fundraisers, as well as Welfare social events. We also have a family system, where you can join and have a point of contact in the club via two parents (one committee, one experienced member) and a whole family of other (usually new) members to the club who you can socialize with before or after training/ events. You’ll never need to attend an event alone!
