If you live in or around Austin and are interested in training as well as sparring and competition this is your place.
Muay Thai is referred to as “The Art of the Eight Limbs” as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A practitioner of Muay Thai (“nak muay”) 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.
Not only does Muay Thai develop tremendous strength and extremely toned muscles, but the exciting movements of Muay Thai develop a balanced, fully body core strength. This is the best kind of strength your body really needs for long term health and longevity. Muay Thai is also a heck of a lot more fun than running on a treadmill.
