About Muay Thai

Muay Thai is an ancient art. It is a combat sport that became widespread in the 19th century. It is referred to as the ‘Art of Eight Limbs’ and is also known as  Thai boxing or Thai kickboxing. Unlike conventional boxing and kickboxing, as well as punches and kicks, Muay Thai also involves knee strikes and the feared elbow strikes for close range combat. It is the ultimate martial art. Muay Thai was formerly known as Muay Boran and was used as a practical fighting technique for use in warfare. It later became a spectators sport and the national sport of Thailand.

Muay Thai offers the best interval based (fartlek) cardiovascular training session on the face of the earth, combining the fast twitch muscle fibres (high definition) and a maximum cardio output together in a fun and challenging format.
