Muay Thai, translated to English as “Thai Boxing”, is the National sport of Thailand. It is also referred to as the “Art of Eight Limbs” because, unlike Western Boxing which only uses two fists, Muay Thai involves using one’s punches, kicks, elbows, and knees to create eight points of contact. Muay thai also differs from the other striking arts of kickboxing and boxing by utilizing many different clinching techniques to create openings for all the eight weapons. This program is a wonderful balance to the self defense training that we offer in that it specializes in the art of fighting, providing more tools to ultimately go home safe and empowered.
