WHAT IS MUAY THAI?
Muay Thai is a combat martial art from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. It is a physical and mental discipline known as "the art of eight weapons" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins and feet. Muay Thai has a long and rich history in South East Asia, where it evolved on the battlefield many centuries ago.
Today Muay Thai is a highly popular sport and is practiced by men and women for fitness and self-defence as well as competition. It is being recognised more and more as not only a highly effective martial art but an excellent form of exercise that improves physical strength/conditioning and promotes weight loss.
