Thai Boxing

Thai Boxing combines punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes into a self-defense system known for its power and effectiveness. Thai Boxing training methods are unsurpassed in developing speed, power, and superb cardiovascular endurance. By using specialized striking pads called "Thai Pads", students can practice punches, kicks, knees, and elbow strikes in combination and at full force. Thai pad training also improves reaction time by allowing students to react immediately to the actions of the pad holder. Trainers will commonly wear a belly pad around the abdominal area so that students can deliver straight kicks and knees at anytime during the training. Other training methods commonly used include, heavy bag training and controlled sparring drills. Heavy bag training plays an important part in developing power and conditioning, and reinforces the techniques practiced on the pads. Sparring is a means to test technique, skills, range, strategy, and timing against a partner. Muay Thai sparring is often conducted at light to medium contact to aviod injury.
