Thai Boxing

Thai Boxing, or Muay Thai, 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.


Other training methods commonly used include heavy bag training and controlled sparring drills. Heavy bag training plays an important role in developing power and conditioning, and reinforces the techniques practiced on the Thai pads. Sparring is a means to test technique, skills, range, strategy, and timing against a partner. Thai Boxing sparring is often conducted at light to medium contact to avoid injury.

TRIAL PROGRAM

To ensure a smooth and comfortable transition into the group class, your first lesson will be a private one-on-one class with one of our certified instructors where you will be introduced to the basic techniques used in class. At that point, you’ll be ready to participate in a beginner group class. You’ll be amazed how much you learn in only a few classes!
