| Muay
Thai also known as Thai boxing is the national
martial art of
Thailand. Muay Thai is referred to as the
“King of the ring” because of
the incredible power & conditioning
of the Thai boxer.
Dating back hundreds
of years, Muay Thai was a warrior art in
which Thailand trained all their military.
Later, it was developed and refined to a
ring sport where combatants test their skills
in the competition arena (boxing ring).
Muay Thai uses the hands, elbows,
knees, shins & feet as its striking
weapons. It primarily focuses on power,
strength and phenomenal conditioning on
the body, thus making it a devastating and
powerful art.
Kickboxing
Kickboxing is a modern sport
deriving basically from Muay Thai &
Boxing. Its main emphases are strength,
fitness, stamina, co-ordination, flexibility,
speed, focus & accuracy.
Its linage could
be traced back to the ancient Greek art

consisted of punches, kicks & wrestling,
which tested strength, skill, endurance
and strategy.
