What is Muay Thai?
The art of eight limbs
Muay Thai is Thailand’s national sport. Where boxing uses two points of contact, the fists, Muay Thai uses eight: fists, elbows, knees and shins. A practitioner is known as a nak muay.
Training builds strength, coordination and stamina and speeds up your metabolism, so over time you’ll notice less body fat and more muscle. It also builds determination, patience and self-control.
Muay Thai is the striking base for many MMA fighters, so it pairs well with boxing, wrestling and BJJ.
