Muay
Thai, or Thai Boxing, is seen as many as the preeminent striking
art in the world of competitive fighting. Muay Thai is sometimes
referred to as the "Science of Eight Limbs," as fighters
are trained to use their shins, knees, elbows, and hands to strike,
providing eight points of contact as opposed to the usual two
or four in most other striking arts, like Western Boxing (hands)
or Western Kick Boxing (Hands & Feet). Muay Thai is the national
sport of Thailand, and is heavily practiced all throughout southerwestern
Asia. It has seen a huge surge in popularity in recent years in
Northern America thanks to numerous professional MMA fighters
attributing their winning striking skills to training in Muay
Thai.
It
is important to point out that Muay Thai is not to be confused
with Cardio Kick Boxing, a popular exercise routine, nor with
Western or American Kick Boxing, which is a watered down version
of Muay Thai that does not allow for knee or elbow strikes, nor
for kicks below the waist. Muay Thai is the real deal - a brutal
full-contact striking art that will test your body, mind, and
fighting spirit.
Training
in Muay Thai involves arduous physical workouts to build stamina,
strength, and speed. Your body undergoes intense physical conditioning,
both to prepare your body to deliver bone crushing strikes and
to ready it to receive such impacts and shrug them off. Muay Thai
also utilizes heavy bags, thai pads, focus mitts, and sparring
among other tools to help hone and sharpen technique.
Whether
you're looking to fight competitively or for a intense physical
workout to get you in the best shape of your life, Muay Thai has
something to offer you. Both the coaches and your fellow students
will work with you at your own level, pushing you to excel.
