MUAY THAI
Muay Thai ​is the national sport of Thailand, and an ancient Thai martial art that dates back over 1000 years to an age when Thai warriors used it to defend their country from Burmese invaders. It is referred to as “The Art of Eight Limbs” using the eight points of contact of the body to mimic weapons of war. Thai boxing has been used for centuries to build strength, endurance, power of concentration, and discipline.
