Great! Muay Thai is a great sport and an excellent way to get in shape! It combines strength, strategy, and precision.

If you’ve never done Muay Thai, here are 6 key points:

  1. The Art of Eight Limbs: Muay Thai is often referred to as the “art of eight limbs,” as it utilizes the fists, elbows, knees, and shins, making it a highly versatile and effective striking martial art for competing or self defense .
  1. Physical Fitness: Training in Muay Thai offers a full-body workout that improves strength, stamina, flexibility, and coordination. Lose weight, get in shape, and have fun
  1. Technique and Strategy: Muay Thai involves a wide range of techniques, including kicks, punches, elbows, and knee strikes, as well as clinching techniques. It requires your brain and body to work together so it’s never a boring workout.
  1. Gear: The essential gear for Muay Thai training includes boxing gloves, hand wraps, shin guards, mouthguard, and Muay Thai shorts. When you join the gym, all of that gear is included so all you have to do is sign up and show up!
