Muay Thai or Thai Kickboxing is a martial art developed in Thailand about 500 years ago to defend the country against invaders. Muay Thai combines Western-style boxing with kicking, and includes the use of elbows and knees. Though traditionally Muay Thai is designed to be fatal to the opponent, in our class we focus on self-defense and counter attack. Usually light sparring is practiced with minimal use of elbows. During class, students will wear boxing gloves, shin guards, and mouth protectors. Head protection is required for sparring.
