Goal

The goal of the martial arts and wellness programs are to provide children with an outlet for their creative energies, while instilling life-long skills such as confidence, self-discipline, respect, teamwork and cooperation. The program will instill a love for health & wellness and give them a means to defend themselves, if deemed necessary.

What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai, (pronounced muueee tie) has been described as one of the most effective striking arts in history. Kickboxing, on the other hand, often confused with Muay Thai, is a combat sport that uses punches and kicks as its main tool.
 
Although Muay Thai shares some similarities with Kickboxing, it is a separate martial art with its own culture, history, and lineage. Muay Thai is known as the "Art of 8 Limbs.” In Muay Thai, the body becomes your weapon for attack or self-defense. The 8 limbs are 2 punches, 2 kicks, 2 knees and 2 elbows.
