Muay Thai, translated into English as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand. It is well known for its devastating kicks, knees, and elbows. It is the primary stand up system trained by most UFC and other professional MMA fighters. This program focuses not only on the kickboxing elements of Muay Thai (punches, kicks, knees, elbows), but also heavily on the importance of the clinching (tie up) positions in this sport. The high intensity training in this class will result in superior conditioning for the martial athlete to be used in self-defense or in Muay Thai sport competition.
