MUAY THAI
About MUAY THAI
Muay Thai is referred to as “The Art of Eight Limbs”; and using eight points of contact the body mimics weapons of war.
The hands become the sword and dagger; the shins and forearms were hardened in training to act as armour against blows, and the elbow to fell opponents like a heavy mace or hammer; the legs and knees became the axe and staff.
The body operated as one unit.
The knees and elbows constantly searching and testing for an opening while grappling and trying to spin an enemy to the ground for the kill.
About SPARRING
Our sparring classes are designed for everybody to take part in. We teach people to spar like the Thai’s do, which means the level of contact is kept light and the objective is to play not to try and knock your partner out!
WHY SPAR?
Sparring helps with body conditioning and timing, it helps you work out what works in different situations and allows you to perfect technique and how to defend and when to attack in a live but safe training environment.
