What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai, which translates to Thai Boxing, is a system of combat that is over 4 centuries old. During ancient times, the Thai people developed Muay Thai as a dominating system of combat against the enemies from other nations. The hand-to-hand combat was time tested and proven effective by the ancient warriors of Siam.
Around the early 1920's, Thai Boxing spawned into a modern day sport, similar to Western Boxing as you would see on TV, and is known today as the National Sport of Thailand. Thai Boxing teaches the student or fighter to use their most effective natural weapons: fists, knees, elbows and legs.
 People of all types use Thai Boxing for fitness, self-defense and overall health and well being. Even though Professional Thai Fighters are considered some of the most feared athletes in the worlds fighting community, it has evolved and become sought after by the general public as a way to get in shape, burn off stress and more importantly, have fun.
