Raouche, Beirut
Stubborn in the ringon the bagin the clinchevery day
You train one-on-one in Raouche with a coach who fought professionally in Thailand. There are no group classes here, so nobody is ahead of you and nobody is waiting for you. Come once and see if you come back.
Your first session
One-on-one with a coach. There's no contract and nothing to buy before you start.
One-on-One Coaching
Every session is one hour with a coach who watches only you, corrects what you can't see yet, and builds the training around your real level.
Strong Community
The room is serious but friendly. Nobody is here to show off, and everyone has the same goal: coming back tomorrow.
About The Stubborns
The Stubborns is a Muay Thai and boxing club in Raouche, Beirut, Lebanon. It's run by Hussein Ghaddar, who fought for years in Thailand's promotions and is also a certified rehabilitation trainer. He still coaches every session himself.
We do one thing here: private coaching. It's you and a coach, or you and a partner with a coach, and nobody else. Nothing is planned for the middle of a group, so nobody sets the pace for you and nobody slows you down. Beginners start here as often as fighters do, and both leave sore.
There's one rule that matters: you don't need to be fit to start, you need to show up twice.

Our Programs
Precision, endurance and discipline for all levels, trained one-on-one.
The art of eight limbs, taught properly.
You'll train strikes, kicks, clinch and defence, and repeat each one until it still works when you're tired. When you're ready, you test it in controlled sparring.
Hands, feet, and the discipline to use both.
You'll work on punching technique, footwork, defence and combinations. From your first hand wrap to your first sparring session, every hour improves one specific thing.
Punches, low kicks and knees, under K1 rules.
Punches, low kicks and knees, put together into combinations that land. You drill footwork, timing and distance one-on-one until they still work when you're tired.
Come back stronger than you left.
One-on-one rehabilitation with a certified rehab trainer. You rebuild strength, movement and confidence at a pace your body can handle, because being stubborn is not the same as being stupid.
Why Choose Us
You train with a coach who has really fought, not someone who read about it. You'll learn technique that still works when you're tired, build real stamina, and get the kind of confidence that only comes from doing the work.
Years competing in Thailand’s promotions, not a weekend certification course.
We train around your injury instead of ignoring it, so old knees and bad shoulders get a real plan.
One coach across all three, so your striking isn’t taught to you in three different dialects.
There are no group classes and no waiting for your turn. The hour runs at your level, on your schedule.
No Hidden Fees
Every session is private and booked directly with your coach. No joining fee, no contract.

Boxing & Conditioning
Footwork, punch mechanics, and the fitness underneath them. Expect your rounds to get longer and your third to start feeling like your first.
Member reviews
“I came to Hussein not knowing how to throw a single punch. He trained me meticulously, every detail, from footwork to hip rotation. He's very serious about form.”

Common Questions
The Stubborns is in Raouche, on the western seafront of Beirut, and we're open six days a week. We're one of the few places in Lebanon that teaches Muay Thai, boxing and K1 kickboxing completely one-on-one, plus private injury rehabilitation. Beginners and experienced fighters both train here at their own level, and your first session is free.
Yes, and it's the only way we work. Every session is one hour with one coach, either just you or you and a partner together. A private boxing coach or private Muay Thai lessons cost $35 a session, which drops to about $23 when you buy a monthly block, and you choose the coach, the day and the hour yourself in the client portal.
No, and almost nobody is when they start. The first weeks are set to what you can do today, because the training is what makes you fit, not something you need before you begin. Beginners are most of the people we coach.
No. You train directly with a coach, either on your own or two of you together if you'd rather share the session with a partner. It costs more than a group class, and it's the reason people improve faster.
Shorts, a t-shirt and water. We give you gloves, wraps and pads for your first session, so there's nothing to buy before you know if you want to stay.
A single private session at The Stubborns is $35 on your own, or $50 for two people together. Monthly blocks bring the price down: 4 sessions for $120, 8 for $230 and 12 for $280, which works out at about $23 a session. Blocks for two people are $200, $360 and $450 for the pair. There is no joining fee and no contract.
Yes. Every session is private and one-on-one, so your training is arranged around you and not around a mixed class.
