What is Muay Thai?

Thailand's national martial art.

Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) originated in Thailand from the older martial art of Muay Boran — "ancient boxing." Muay Boran is an umbrella term for a number of traditional Thai striking styles, and Muay Thai is its modern, sporting evolution.

The main precept of Muay Thai is mastering the eight striking points of the body — fists, elbows, knees, and shins/feet — which is why it's often called "the art of the eight limbs." Every part of your body is a weapon when you know how to use it.

Two arts. One program.

Kickboxing and Muay Thai are actually two different martial arts. Kickboxing, as a contact sport, was developed from karate, Muay Thai, taekwondo, and Western boxing in the 1960s and 1970s.

Both are incredibly effective for fitness and self-defense, and both are on our mats. You won't have to pick a lane — you'll get the full striking education, from Thai-style clinch and elbows all the way through Western boxing footwork and combinations.
