The Science of Eight Limbs
Muay Thai Kickboxing is a fighting style that incorporates kicking and punching as well as elbow and knee strikes. Because of the eight striking surfaces, Muay Thai is often called the Science of the Eight Limbs. Muay Thai addresses all distances of fighting — from kicking and punching distance, to in close in and clinches where your oppenent has grabbed you.
That, coupled with it’s ferocity of strikes, makes it a perfect compliment to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu takedowns and ground grappling. A fighter armed with knowledge of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a force not to be taken lightly.
Muay Thai is also one of the best sports for physical conditioning. In Muay Thai, students build their strength and endurance through drills and pad work. Students learn to move fluently between kicking, punching, knee, elbow and clinching ranges.
Whether your goal is to get in shape and lose weight or to learn one of the world’s most practical forms of self-defense or to compete in a fighting sport, Muay Thai at Madama Jiu-Jitsu has a program that can help you reach your goals.
