The Art of 8 Limbs - Thailand's National Sport

Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) is the national sport of Thailand, and a very effective striking art that is both powerful and beautiful at the same time. Developed over centuries during in the battlefields of Thailand. Modern day Muay Thai known as "the art of 8 limbs" uses kicks, punches, knees, and elbows techniques in a devastating & graceful manor.

Our head coach has trained extensively & fought in Thailand, and always strives to keep our Muay Thai group lessons authentic to a typical training session in Thailand.

 

All of our coaches are trained extensively in pad-work (including free-style), and have a strong understanding of different Muay Thai styles and which styles will suit different body types and skill sets.
