Muay Thai
Muay Thai is most well known for its kicking technique, which generates power from hip rotation rather than snapping the leg. Muay Thai consists of four types of strikes: punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes. The clinch is used to wear down the opponent. In the clinch, opponents battle for a dominant position for short-range strikes by way of elbows and knees.
Scholars believe that all South East Asian Indochinese kickboxing styles originate from what is thought to be the Indianized kingdom of Funan just prior to the creation of the Khmer Empire; consequentially Kun Khmer, Muay Thai, Muay Lao, Lethwei, and Tomoi all share similar stances and techniques. Thai fighters tend to utilize more elbow strikes than those other martial arts in the region. In Muay Thai, more victories come by way of an elbow technique than any other strike.
Get excited to be reinitiated to the art of eight limbs and a guided introduction to its spiritual and meditational components and benefits. Our experienced coaches and fighters will make sure you learn and master Muay Thai skills and develop your way to fight to the top rank either in the ring or more generally in your life!
Is it a bad idea to consider living a life-changing experience?
