Muay Thai is one of the toughest sports in the world, both physically and mentally. Muay Thai training requires you to use every part of your body; almost all of your muscles are used. With high-speed full power techniques, Muay Thai requires its practitioner to bring their A-game to every session. If you are looking to get fit in a wau that is not boring and learn self-defense on the side, Muay Thai is a great choice for you.

A Fun & Challenging Sport

Anyone wanting to reach their fitness goals in a fun and challenging way will find Muay Thai right up their alley. The training regimen includes a combination of muscle toning exercises and aerobic activities. This will kick start the fat burning process of even the laziest person, giving metabolism a much-needed boost it needs.

Physical Fitness & Weight Loss

A lot of people start training Muay Thai for the physical benefits of its training regimen. This is a highly physical sport and therefore requires a lot of strenuous exercises. These help increase your endurance and shape the body. The training requires a combination of strength, core, cardio and stretching exercises, as well as sparring. This combination makes Muay Thai training one of the toughest in the world of martial arts.

Muay Thai is known as the ’art of eight limbs’; hands, elbows, feet and knees, increasing the strength and flexibility of these parts. As with all Martial Arts, you require regular practice to help condition your body and lose your love handles! The different techniques of kicking, punching and blocking require flexibility and stamina. These require both power and speed, making you gain strength and resilience over time.

Muay Thai is also an excellent form of cardio. As you train, you will burn more calories due to the different exercises required for flexibility and strength. The best part of it all is that this cardio does not have you running endless, mindless miles on the track or treadmill. Most people quit their daily cardio sessions because they get bored of just walking or running. You won’t one of them.

A Physical Activity You Enjoy

It is very important that you incorporate a physical activity that you enjoy into your daily routine. Motivation plays a major factor in anyone’s fitness program; rest assured that with Muay Thai you will be challenged physically and mentally on a regular basis. Performing new techniques or similar ones with better form, greater strength and speed will keep you interested for as long as you practice Muay Thai.
