WHAT IS MUAYTHAI ?

What is Muaythai?

Take traditional boxing combined with kickboxing and you have the foundation of Muaythai. But add elbows and knees, and the ability to use the body in an upright form of wrestling (full body ‘hugs’ and clinching are permitted), and you have the complete picture of this form of martial arts. In Muaythai, it is also known as the art of 8 limbs: Shins, knees, elbows and hands.
It is well known that in martial arts, both students and Professionals are taught the necessity for self-control and measured behaviour. Muaythai is no different.

While getting fit, honing the body and teaching self-defence, this sport equally promotes mental and emotional strength. In a group setting, Muaythai encourages team spirit and camaraderie. Sparring takes place between two people, reflecting the ethos of Muaythai.

Participants can enjoy this sport at any level, from beginner to intermediate to very accomplished, to taking part in competition fighting.
