Muay Thai is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science of Eight Limbs" because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight "points of contact".

It is a combat sport from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques.

Muay Thai or Thai boxing is the cultural martial art of Thailand. The origin of Muay Thai dates back several hundred years, and was developed as a form of close-combat that used the entire body as a weapon.

Much of the history of Muay Thai was lost when the Burmese captured Ayudhaya, the capital city of Siam (Thailand) in the 14th century. The Burmese looted the temples and depositories of knowledge held in the capital. Unfortunately most of the written history was lost during this period. The relatively little information that was saved is now preserved and protected as national treasures for Thai culture and heritage.

Muay Thai is a great experience and is good for both able and disabled people to help with improving movement range, confidence, fitness and help eliminate stress. If you would like to know more please call Gareth who will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
