Muay
Thai Boxing is an art form that utilizes all of the body`s eight limbs
to create a devastating fighting style, as competitive in the ring as
it`s effectiveness for self-defense. This art differs from Tae kwon do
and Kung Fu in several respects; In Muay Thai "forms" do not exist, nor
does the practice of pulling your techniques before they make impact.
Using
specially designed pads and no-nonsense training
methods, kicks, punches, knees and elbows are practiced full power and
without holding back. Muay Thai`s no-nonsense approach to training
makes the techniques easy to learn and extremely effective for
self-defense regardless of athletic ability. Muay Thai Boxing is simple
- stresses conditioning, power and effective self-defense.
