About

Founded in 2007 by Sensei James Bedwell, 29 Degrees of Gung Fu is a Muay Thai dojo in Wheat Ridge, just west of Denver, and home of the Muay Thai Tribe fight team. Training takes a holistic approach to mental, physical and emotional development: Muay Thai, the art of eight limbs, alongside mind coaching, personal training and nutrition. Classes run seven days a week, from fundamentals, intro to contact and bag-work conditioning to advanced Muay Thai and open mats. Private sessions, custom group classes (women's self-defense, team building) and kids' Muay Thai (group classes for ages 11 to 17, one-on-one for ages 5 to 10) are also available.
