Muay Thai

​

Muay Thai or Thai Boxing is a stand-up combat sport and is recognized as the national sport and cultural martial art of Thailand. It's on track to become an Olympic sport and has gained popularity all over the world. Sometimes referred to as The Art of Eight Limbs,' Muay Thai involves the entire body, identifying each strike (punch, kick, knee or elbow) as one 'weapon.' In addition to striking, it also utilizes sweeps and the clinch, a form of stand-up neck grappling.

​

SPEED, STRENGTH, AND STAMINA ARE JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT YOU GET.

It’s not hard to notice someone who has strong, muscular legs and six pack abs… and that’s exactly what you’ll get with Muay Thai training. From muscle endurance, force production, and agility to head-turning abs, thighs and calves, Muay Thai delivers. No other sport or physical activity comes close to delivering the cardiovascular conditioning that Muay Thai offers. Got stress? Think Muay Thai. Having a fun outlet where you focus on yourself and nothing else, detach from the daily grind, let go of all things negative, and release stress does wonders for your mental and physical health.

​

I BELIEVE… I ACHIEVE… AND I THRIVE.

As a highly respected martial art, Muay Thai will give you a boost in your confidence and focus. If you’re looking to get in shape and build muscle, Muay Thai holds the key to achieving your goals. It’s one of the most demanding workouts you can do, but the rewards are plentiful – great cardio, core strength, stress relief, and more.

​

PUT YOUR WELL-BEING IN GOOD HANDS – YOUR OWN.

Muay Thai offers a fun outlet for the day-to-day frustrations that build up in our lives. Stress can be a huge contributing factor to many health issues, both mental and physical. Muay Thai counteracts stress by building a stronger immune system, creating more energy, and promoting better cardiovascular health. Many beginners also notice that their mood improves too. It’s a great way to meet people with similar interests. With everyone working together to improve themselves, the atmosphere is collaborative, positive, and fun.

​

GET INTO GREAT SHAPE FAST AND LET YOUR CONFIDENCE SHINE.

If you’re looking to improve your physical fitness, you’ll be in shape in a matter of weeks because every workout involves your entire body. You will be trained to hit with a lot of power that comes from your core. That’s why Muay Thai is one of the best core stability workouts you can do. It tones everything from your arms, legs, abdominal muscles and back. Students say they get a huge boost in physical confidence and pride in their appearance. With dedication and hard work, you will have the physique of an athlete in no time at all.

  • Will martial arts make my kid violent?
    No way! In fact, martial arts makes kids calmer and more respectful than ever. Martial arts always has been about peace, and it always will be.
  • Can my child get injured with martial arts?
    As a parent, I'm sure you've seen that kids can get injured doing just about anything. Martial arts is no different, however we take safety very seriously here. Yes, injuries do sometimes happen. But we do everything in our power to avoid them. We do special exercises and stretches to make your child's body limber and flexible.
  • My child isn't athletic. Can they still participate?
    Absolutely. Martial Arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities grow them even more.
  • Are classes fun?
    Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids howling with laughter, and constantly smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.
  • How old should my child be to start martial arts?
    Any age! Most kids range from 5 to teenagers, but we have kids who are younger, too. Classes are customized to suit children of different ages. A teenager receives very different treatment than a 6 year old, for example.
  • Do children's confidence and self-esteem grow with the martial arts?
    Absolutely. Kids with low self-esteem often come out of their shells. As their skill level increases, they feel more and more confident. Other kids look up to them, just as they look up to other kids who are ahead of them. It builds a sense of confidence, pride, and teamwork.
  • Do boys AND girls take martial arts?
    Yes! We have a good mix of both girls and boys in our youth kickboxing classes! Some people think that the boys are much “stronger and tougher,” but in reality this is not true. In fact, often girls are the stronger ones!
  • Do kids stick with classes for a while?
    Kids have a blast here. There's smiling and laughter throughout every class. We have our moments of intense concentration and focus... but we always balance things out with fun and games to keep everything alive and light.
