Located in the industrial estate of Glynde, 5km north-east of the city of Adelaide the gym has 200m2 of fully matted area including a boxing ring, 10 heavy bags, weights area with kettlebells and cardio equipment.

Head trainer, Jeremy Keeping has 10 years experience teaching Muay Thai at various gyms in Adelaide including the Flinders University Muay Thai Club run by Alan Wong.

Fighter training is held six days a week and since opening the gym in 2008 our club has trained over 15 fighters for competition in Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA with students competing locally, interstate and overseas.

Muay Thai fighters training at the gym include:

• Kym Johnson - WMC Australian middleweight and Knees of Fury champion

• Charlie Chau - WMC South Australian welterweight state champion

• Paul Slowinski -WMC World Super Heavyweight and ‘International Kickboxer'champion

General classes are held three times a week by Jeremy Keeping and Paul Slowinski with intermediate sparring also available to help students progress and take the next step towards training with the fighters and competing in the ring.

The training at Rikers is a combination of the traditional ‘Thai' style with lots of pad work and grappling as well as the ‘Dutch' style of heavy bag drills and partner sparring with combination drills. We are always learning and have travelled as a club to train in Thailand, Japan and planning a trip to Holland in 2011.

The gym also offers classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, freestyle wrestling, strength and conditioning and Mixed Martial Arts. Personal training is available by appointment during the day either one on one or as a group for more information please check on our website.
