Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand and is the country's national sport. Traditional Muay Thai practiced today varies significantly from the ancient art Muay Boran and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A master practitioner of Muay Thai thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight "points of contact," as opposed to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai is a fun class that provides a great workout. However, it is different from the other classes offered at the Fox Valley Grappling Club in that it does not have regular days/times that classes are taught. Muay Thai is offered twice a week at 6pm, but the nights change based on the instructors work schedule. Class availability is updated weekly on the board in the gym. Check with the office for more information.
Required gear includes shorts, a t-shirt, mouth guard, hand wraps, gloves and athletic supporter. Optional gear includes shin pads and additional sparring gear.
Day and evening practice times are available. Be sure to take advantage of our TWO FREE WEEKS OF TRAINING for all potential new members. Start with no cost and no obligation.
