Ruckus Athletics is a unique martial arts sanctuary located in the vibrant heart of Barcelona, just steps away from the iconic Palau de la Música. Nestled within the historic charm of Ciutat Vella’s old city walls, Ruckus Athletics offers an experience for both seasoned fighters and newcomers alike.

We’ve created a space that goes beyond the ordinary, blending the functionality of a martial arts studio with the serene ambiance of a temple. Every detail is handcrafted and curated to inspire and empower.

The studio features a thoughtfully designed layout with a welcoming lounge area, a dedicated training space, and a well-equipped weight room. Custom carpentry and metalwork merge with the earthy tones of olive green tatami, creating an inviting and invigorating atmosphere. Natural light floods the space through expansive windows, casting a warm glow over Muay Thai practice. With room for up to 30 practitioners, the space fosters growth, camaraderie, and a shared passion for the martial art.

As the team behind the interior design and creative direction, we’ve captured the essence of Ruckus Athletics. It’s a unique and authentic environment that honors the Ruckus community.
