Thai boxing is the oldest martial art that originated in Thailand. It is also called Muay Thai (which means free Thai fight). By its nature, it is similar to other types of Indo-Chinese battles, but it also has striking differences. In modern Muay Thai, punches, elbows, feet, shins or knees are allowed, for which it is also called the "eight-limb fight". Muay Thai is popular these days for girls, which is often offered as self-defense courses.
Thai boxing for women
Despite the fact that Muay Thai involves contact fighting, there are more and more women involved in Muay Thai every day. This is not surprising, because the spectrum of benefits from such training is very high:
- Thai boxing exercises replace complexes of exercises with individual exercises for the buttocks, abs, legs and chest. This allows you to keep your figure in shape without making separate efforts for this.
- Constant, provided a reasonable diet, helps to normalize weight and improve shape.
- By practicing martial arts, a woman becomes more agile, graceful and graceful.
- After several months of such training, a woman begins to feel very confident, because she realizes that she can fight back absolutely any bully.
- The longer a girl attends training, the better she is at self-defense.
As coaches like to joke, when a wife is engaged in Thai boxing - the husband does not forget to take out the trash or wash the dishes, and the children bring only excellent marks from school. The benefits of these workouts are very high, much more complete than from regular fitness activities.
Thai boxing - training
The workouts are quite dynamic, and include many useful exercises for coordination, strength, agility and stretching, thanks to which the complex development of the body occurs. After the first lessons, the girls notice changes in themselves and their attitude.
In the video provided, you can see a short presentation of the training, which includes a long warm-up and preparation, practice of punching on a bag and even contact combat in full equipment. There is no need to be afraid of such activities - no one will force you to fight if you are not yet sure that you will do everything right. Using these skills, you can improve your mental and physical condition and become much more confident in yourself.
At the very first Muay Thai workout, I fell in love. The body said, "Yo baby, we need this!" and we stayed. But I will probably be the last person who will recommend a woman to go to Muay Thai.
1. Muay Thai is not a fight, but a sport. To think that through training you will be able to resist an inadequate man is a big illusion. In my opinion, this becomes (theoretically) possible after several fights, when the body begins to react faster than the head. If the task is to learn how to defend yourself, it makes sense to go to specialized self-defense classes.
2. Muay Thai changes the body. High-intensity loads leave the chest (after a series of beats, my pulse sometimes reaches 220 beats per minute). As those who lose weight keep "jeans of shame" as a keepsake, so a woman gets a "crying box".
The priest leaves. Oddly enough, but the body considers the protruding fifth point for a fight to be absolutely unnecessary, even annoying, detail. The butt becomes firm, but small.
3. Muay Thai is an expense. First, to the hall. Muay Thai is a pair sport and it is vitally important to have a) a good coach and a) a slightly superior partner. I am (so far) lucky: I have both in one place.
Secondly, the cost of equipment. At first glance, you need a little: the usual elastic uniform and gloves. But this is only at first glance.
Leatherette gloves fly off in three months. With the increasing force of the blow, the need for bandages appears. The bag is not needed by the way, but into which these same gloves will fit. Well, lining / stockings are sometimes very useful too.
Thirdly, there are food costs. As I already said, the loads (unless, of course, you are phony) are quite high and the food needs to be rebuilt completely. You need protein, you need vitamins - and good and a lot.
4. Muay Thai is bruising. On the legs, arms, thighs and the site of the anterior pelvic bones (ilium). Moreover, these will most likely be bruises a) large b) passing just enough so that you have time to enjoy the palette of changing colors.
5. Muay Thai is a limitation in female beauty. Extensive nails with rhinestones? Forgot! Cilia of 2 cm? Forgot! Dealers in the nose, cheekbones? Forgot! Unless, of course, after a missed blow, you do not want to find fillers who have moved out somewhere behind your ear))
6. Muay Thai is the time. The workout lasts 1.5 hours. But very soon you realize that in order for you to succeed in what you want to do, this time is too short. Even if you do it three times a week. And even if four. Three is the base that the coach gives. Fourth - this is an independent development of technology: no one will give you a shell for an hour for your sole use. Plus, you need running (for breathing) and stretching (and how without it?). How much is left for personal life and all sorts of movie dominoes have figured out?
7. Muay Thai is painful. It just hurts, and the gong hasn't rung yet. And we must continue.
Of course, not everyone falls in love with Muay Thai enough to make a difference in their lives.
And if you still want to, then where?
I know there are mixed groups (men + women) and there are pure groups (men / women). I am doing mixed and the second time I would go to the same.
First of all, to study among men (no matter how skeptical they are about your attempts) - a great sense: this is a unique opportunity to see them "as they are" - in their strength and their weakness. It was during training that I can say fell in love with men as a species.
Secondly, this is the bar set by men. If around you push-ups on fists with claps, it is simply shameful not to do at least 10-15 normal ones.
Thirdly, The “norm” in the mixed group is the norm for men. For women, of course, it decreases slightly, but decreases relative to the same men, which means that for women it remains slightly higher than for women.
Fourth, sometimes the partner does not come, and then you find yourself paired with a man.
And this, like everything above, is cool))
- Muay Thai is an opportunity (with impunity) to hit a person)). I find it very important to be able to do things that are not socially encouraged. For example, lie, steal, and yes, beat people. Because life is rich in shades, nuances and situations and it may well happen that antisocial choice will be the least energy-consuming and it will be critical. And you - oops - and you can't.
- Muay Thai is a focus on moving forward. In my opinion, experience in ordinary life comes rather slowly. More precisely, "Lyuli" arrive quickly, but the opportunity to do otherwise may not come at all soon. In Muay Thai, you come out of every sparring with a bunch of "checkmarks": it doesn't work here, it flew here. And after a day you have the opportunity (to try) to do otherwise.
- Muay Thai is a constant readiness for new things. You can kill yourself by honing your technique with shells. You can wipe the monitor to the holes while watching training and real battles. But now a living person stands in front of you and all the blanks crumble into dust: the partner does not at all what you prepared so carefully for.
- Muay Thai is respect. The inability to predict 100% the actions of the enemy simply makes him respect. It can also come from a beginner. Precisely because he does not know how, he himself has not yet received much and in general, young and daring.
- Muay Thai is the understanding that there is no limit. There is no quantitative reflecting the qualitative here. There is no level to reach and calm down. There is no stretch that makes you better than your opponent. There will always be not even someone who is better, but someone who at some point is simply faster than you.
Muay Thai demonstrates that there is nothing more ephemeral than victory (and therefore fig with it]). 98% of the training time is general physical fitness, working out strikes and ligaments. Even sparring takes a small amount of time, and fights are very rare. And for the sake of this "rarely" to be so relieved in training, IMHO, is a bad thing. I asked those who speak: why do they need this? And no one told me about the medals.
Muay Thai vaporizes pride. You can't do everything. You can't do everything. Because you are not all at once.
Muay Thai (to me, anyway) always gives an endorphin rush. Every time after a workout, a hellish cocktail boils in my blood: I love everyone, I can do everything, I am not afraid of anything. And given the fact that I still live without a camera and go to the office every day, it is vital for me))
First workout
Muay Thai, like any business that you do with all your dedication, will sooner or later make you change your whole life. Therefore, before contacting Thai boxing enough to select a nail for gloves in your shack and make a wholesale order of ointment for bruises, you should take a closer look at it.
Where to begin?
Before buying a subscription, it makes sense to go for a couple of trial lessons to different clubs with suitable prices, location and schedule. You need to see the club from the inside, look at the coach's approach, feel the atmosphere in the team, and so on.
Club
It is normal for someone to study in the basement, someone is comfortable only in the haute couture interior. The first is not good, the second is not bad. You just need to understand - is it right for you.
In addition to the subjective assessment of dressing rooms and showers, it makes sense to pay attention to the equipment of the hall. At a minimum, there should be shells for practicing different types of punches: long bags of different densities (just come and bang your fist) and wall pillows.
Trainer
The group is formed by a coach. Not the politics of the club, not the interior, not the prices. They always go to a person and work with a person, and the coach as a person has his own relationship with Muay Thai, firstly, and his own approach to training, and secondly.
You can get a general idea of \u200b\u200bthe first one by listening to the trainer's conversations with the “oldies” before and during training.
For some, Muay Thai is life and passion, for others, sports and adrenaline. This will manifest itself in communication, in words describing "work" and commenting on mistakes. Plus, from how the coach himself relates to what he teaches, accents will be placed in the training process.
Learning approach. Muay Thai is a tough sport and it is strange to expect softness and political correctness from a coach. Plus, you need to understand HOW the coach sees a girl who comes to training (especially in a mixed group).
A girl, by definition, is weaker than any of the most novice male novices, at first she does not succeed in the simplest things, she cannot be spurred on with obscenities, she can be offended and cry as a joke, she can have a bruise from any poke when demonstrating an exercise and this can be a problem. And this beauty must be taught something without crippling.
In addition, it is worth finding out whether the coach has the ability to explain the same thing to different people in different ways, without losing patience, because from time to time you will be blunt mercilessly.
Partner
If the group is mixed (men + women), it is important to find out if any of the women attend classes on a regular basis. Muay Thai is a pair sport, and standing in sparring with a man, albeit of the same weight category, is not, in my opinion, a good moment.
Both of you will be afraid to do something wrong (he is to hit the chest, you are not to raise the knee high enough when hitting the solar plexus) - as a result, neither will work at full strength.
Equipment
The usual equipment for the lesson: boxing gloves, T-shirt, leggings or special "Thai" shorts. In my opinion, you can come to the first training session in whatever you want, as long as it does not hinder movement and especially, does not interfere with raising your legs, but at the same time does not distract the male half from work. Many girls come to the gym to show what a great figure they have and to find a young man, strong and courageous. There is nothing wrong with this and often it happens, but you still need to be politically correct to the coach, the process and those around you, people still have ordinary human desires))
There is no point in buying gloves for the first lesson (and for the second). All the same, for the first or second time, in addition to general physical training (general physical training), the coach will give basic punches and kicks in the air for familiarization.
You don't need shoes at all during training - classes are held barefoot or in socks. It is better to choose sports socks - they fit well on the foot and do not slip from lifting on toes and from turning the legs.
Plus, you definitely need to take water with you (preferably in a double volume than for the already familiar workouts), and a small towel to wipe off the sweat.
After training
It is necessary to provide for the opportunity to have a snack after class. The workout (even the first one) will be very intense, with a high heart rate, from which muscles can "burn". In order to prevent this, it is advisable to eat (protein + carbohydrates) 30-40 minutes after the end of the workout.
If at this time, with a sense of accomplishment, you are going to take your tired but satisfied carcass home, then along the way you can simply grab a protein bar with a protein indicator in the region of 50-60%.
And for two days after training it is better not to plan anything at all))
Text: Maria Semendyaeva
In 2011, I worked at Kommersant as a correspondent for the culture department, I lived in a rented room in a commune, and my salary was barely enough for food, and the need for sports activities became quite obvious when I could not fit into my only winter pants. I went to Thai boxing for several reasons: the gym was next to work, the training was ruthless, all the equipment was given out in class three times a week and it cost about 4 thousand rubles a month. It was especially pleasant that your own body became the main tool, and you could train anywhere - if you had a sparring partner.
Muay Thai, or Muay Thai, is a form of wrestling that is considered an adaptation of an even deadlier ancient martial art. In Thai boxing, shin strikes are used on three levels (high to the head, middle to the stomach and low to the thigh), as well as percussion boxing techniques, elbow and knee strikes, straight foot kick (chib) and, of course, clinch - wrestling without parterre, that is, on the feet, not on the mat. In order to start training, from the equipment at first, only boxing gloves, bandages and mouthguards are enough, but in the future you will need protection on the shins, a helmet and chest protection. Thai shorts are a special aesthetic pleasure, but not only: you cannot imagine more comfortable for training.
Contrary to popular belief that Muay Thai is a tough martial art “not for girls”, there are many girls in this sport, and, other things being equal, they often achieve much more serious results than boys. This happens because, firstly, not all girls are such fragile creatures, and secondly, because there is much less competition in this area than men. For example, in the category up to 70 kg, as it was with me at the beginning, in principle it is not easy to find a worthy opponent. Even in the category up to 63.5 kg, there are several times less female athletes than female athletes, and in a few years, in principle, it is realistic to achieve the title of master of sports.
Even if you do not set yourself the task of participating in competitions, Muay Thai training will definitely help you to believe in yourself, but in order to achieve at least some progress, you need to do at least three times a week. Today, contact martial arts can be considered a kind of lifestyle: people visit the gym once every couple of weeks, do without practicing technique and without heavy exhausting sparring, lightly hammer a pear and then post pretty selfies from the locker room. You can meet girls and boys who have been practicing Thai boxing for several years, and at the same time they have neither hitting technique, nor strength, nor even resistance to pain.
Speaking about why people go to martial arts at all, there is a risk of going too deep into complex combinations of complexes, social attitudes and aesthetic preferences. For me, Muay Thai has become a pathway to emotional health (although it has undermined my physical health a little). Firstly, Muay Thai training fosters the habit of overcoming difficulties: usually a lesson lasts from one and a half to two hours, and about an hour of this time is allotted to a tedious warm-up and cool down.
Working out is an effective way to get rid of irritation and resentment,
and push-ups clear the head much better than caffeine or alcohol
Running, jumping rope, push-ups, jumping out, stretching, working out technique, coordination exercises and exercises on the vestibular apparatus develop the body from various angles. Every good trainer will explain that even if one thing does not work out - for example, my vestibular apparatus is personally very weak - you can develop some other area and focus on it. After six months of training, I believed in myself for the first time in a long time, when in an easy sparring I won a victory over a beginner who came from classic boxing - I just used my knees, realizing that he was stronger than me “on fists”.
Secondly, after I started doing Muay Thai, I became much more confident in myself. It was the confidence that I could stand up for myself, even if I had to do it physically. Unfortunately, this method is less accessible to girls than to guys, because from childhood we are taught to negotiate, not insist, and rejoice that violence is used against us, and not repulse it - after all, tugging braids and pinching in the corridor is a manifestation of attention ... As soon as I realized that I could fight back, it literally became easier for me to live and cope with stress - from the mere awareness of my security, and not the willingness to get down to business. Plus, doing your best during workout is an effective way to get rid of irritation and resentment, and push-ups clear your head much better than caffeine or alcohol. The punching bag with the face of a boss is a world-famous invention of Japanese clerks who cannot better take out their irritation than beating such a stuffed animal from the heart.
I will not hide, sometimes even the thought of how exactly (in detail!) One can respond to the aggression of others helps to restrain the manifestation of this aggression on their part. True, it is better to be more careful with these thoughts, because in fact it is very unpleasant to hit a person, and the feeling of shame for this act will inevitably come - sooner or later - especially if your opponent is not a thai boxer at all. Recently, a Facebook friend wrote that after the action, he thought about sending his daughter to knife fighting classes. I told him the following: if you master some deadly skill, it is very difficult not to use it. Now I understand that when I was a neophyte in Muay Thai, my behavior was often unnecessarily aggressive.
As with any wrestling, Muay Thai is not easy to be a beginner. The prospect of a fight with a real enemy frightens off many from the very beginning - they say, they pile on me, I do not know how, they will beat me. The truth is that the danger usually comes from the beginners themselves, who do not yet know how to calculate their strength and can hit too hard, causing real injury. Girls in Muay Thai often behave in a specific way: many at first apologize a lot when they put a little more force into a blow than to swat a mosquito. “Oh, I'm sorry! Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't want to ”, - these absolutely uncontrollable phrases are uttered by every girl in the first few months of classes. People who have already been engaged in these several months can react to this in their own way: often it seems to them that the opponent is "hypocritical" and does not work at full strength.
Another issue is the attitude in society towards a girl who has learned to stand up for herself. Today, martial arts are no longer considered an aggravating circumstance in the commission of a crime, and nevertheless, in the news about the case of the Russian powerlifting champion Tatyana Andreeva, who stabbed a rapist friend and was convicted, she is persistently called an "athlete", as if this type of activity determines the degree of resistance with rape. In turn, MMA (mixed martial arts) star Ronda Rousey was even convicted of domestic violence after she described her quarrels with her ex-boyfriend in her autobiography. However, such cases are rather rare: real violence and sporting limited “violence” in training are completely different things, and it is quite possible to say that in wrestling classes women and men gain experience of equality and learn respect.
The relationship between athletes and athletes in training is a separate difficult issue. Sexist jokes in the gym are not uncommon, as is internal misogyny among female athletes. However, if a girl can be joked about his period, the guy cannot avoid ridicule for the fact that the girl put him down with a hikik.
For many men, being paired with a woman is akin to humiliation, but gradually learning that a partner has a chest that cannot be hit and a much lighter weight class, a boxer may well get used to sparring with a girl. There are also such athletes who like to "teach" newcomers, especially women, they hit on the move in full force, as if declaring: "If you want to be on an equal footing, get it." In this case, how the coach behaves is very important. If he encourages such behavior, one must leave this hall, because sport is a sport, not a platform for self-affirmation and demonstrative flogging.
Like any other combat sport, Muay Thai is traumatic and not very beneficial for physical health.
The passion for Thai boxing came to the masses from street confrontations between fan groups and conflicts between left-wing radicals and right-wing radicals, but it is gradually becoming a thing of the past along with these phenomena. After three years of training, I lost seven kilograms, became the champion of the Moscow region in Muay Thai, won one master tournament, and attended several amazing competitions. However, when at that very masterful tournament one of the coaches began to tell me that the Holocaust was invented by the Jews, and several guys from my gym once again began to joke about the eastern name of my rival, I realized that all this had nothing to do with sports. that I spend a huge amount of time with people who are completely alien to me.
This is one of the most important problems faced by people who come to the world of martial arts. The regulars of ordinary, not the most expensive gyms, where they can train very serious fighters, are mostly schoolchildren or students, schoolgirls or students, most likely belonging to some ideological group. For example, in one of the halls where I trained, all the members of the Spartak fan firm School were engaged, in another club where I went, Evgenia Khasis was trained, convicted of complicity in the murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova. The last time I attempted to go to a Thai boxing class a year ago at the Physical Education Institute, at the end of the training I was offered to train cheaper at the expense of a sponsor. In exchange, it was required to attend rallies and support the point of view of the construction company, known, in particular, for the dispersal of the old edition of the Russian Planet.
This was the last straw in my hobby for Thai boxing: it became obvious that it is extremely difficult to practice it and stay away from ideology. Today, Muay Thai in Russia is a sport that will require you to rebuild your life and, perhaps, even your interests and views - and the more the longer you practice it. While you are still interested in learning about the world of youth subcultures, trying yourself in a new role as a boxer, choosing multi-colored bandages and running to training in anticipation of new knowledge, it makes sense to think about what next sport you will do. Unless you're looking to become a pro and make money from fights, any sport has a ceiling for development.
In any case, the ability to learn a couple of simple punches and generally become physically stronger is a definite plus. In addition, any girl who has ever tried herself in single combat expands the possibilities of self-realization for all women. Once at training, a guy asked me: "Why did you go to boxing, because this is not a women's sport?" I asked if his mom drives a car and if his sister walks in jeans. Of course, he answered in the affirmative, because it never entered his head that in many countries of the world these are still "not female" occupations.
In training at the White Lotus martial arts center, girls are always welcome. And in our Thai boxing section, the percentage of girls is perhaps the highest. Thai boxing for girls is, first of all, an excellent general developmental sport, besides muscle training, it trains the mind. And, of course, a good base for sporting achievements or self-defense. Let's tell you more.
Answers to questions about Thai boxing
What is Muay Thai?
This type of martial arts is also called muay thai or thai (thai) boxing. A bright and popular area of \u200b\u200bbattle in Southeast Asia, and super-popular in its homeland - Thailand. In Thai boxing, both striking techniques and throws are used. This is one of the closest combat sports to a real fight. A large number of kicks and punches, and the active use of elbows and knees, grabs and throws.
Why is Muay Thai good for girls?
Residents of Thailand, by our standards, are not large, therefore the Muay Thai school is well suited for girls, usually lighter than the male half.
The whole school of Muay Thai is a fight with "eight limbs" - punches are applied with hands, feet, elbows and knees. Such variety and balance, during training, has a great effect on the figure.
Muay Thai training not only trains coordination and dexterity, but also makes a person calmer, relieves stress and gives confidence.
Of course, do not forget about the now popular topic of self-defense - situations in life are different, and the skills that you get can help out.
Isn't it dangerous for your health?
The usual fears of women starting to practice martial arts are the fear of injury, bruises, or simply unwillingness to feel pain. Our trainers are professionals with many years of experience. In our sections, and especially in Muay Thai, many girls are engaged. The trainer builds the workout based on safety and comfort for you. A well-chosen protective equipment will help to avoid injuries and bruises. Participation in sparring, and even more so in competitions, occurs only at your request.
What is the difference between training for girls and men?
Of course, the training takes into account the differences between girls and men - physiological and emotional. The appropriate load is selected. In sparrings (if you want to participate in them), the right partners are selected, etc. However, the training base for both girls and men is always the same.
Achievements of girls exercising in the White Lotus
Experienced athletes have the opportunity to perform not only in competitions, but also in other formats - for example, two girls from our martial arts center, Lilia Madai and Natalya Ilyushko, participated in a duel in a show format called "Fight of Eight Arms" held at the Martial Arts Academy on Leninsky Prospekt ...
One of the students of the Thai boxing coach Vitaly Shumakov, Natalya Ilyushko - the bronze medalist of the Moscow championship.
Lilia Madai (up to 45 kg) - won the Moscow Thai boxing championship, performed at the Russian championship.
One of Natalia Ilyushko's speeches:
Additional opportunities for practicing
Participation (of course, optional) in competitions of the Moscow and Russian scale.
Once or twice a year, the White Lotus martial arts center organizes training camps in sports camps in Thailand, often called camps (camps). This is a great opportunity to travel to the homeland of this area of \u200b\u200bbattle, spend a rich and productive training week, and of course sunbathe, swim and visit interesting places in Thailand.
Since ancient times, mostly men were engaged in martial arts, and while they knocked all the crap out of each other with their bare hands, the women sat at home and kept the hearth. But there were also women among the wrestlers, who were considered a kind of exception to the rule. There were also entire peoples who were dominated by matriarchy. For example, the Amazons: according to legend, there were no men among them - they did not tolerate them and did all the work themselves. They not only defended their state themselves, but even raided the surroundings and were known as courageous and cruel warriors.
Many years have passed since then, however, among us you can find women, the descendants of the Amazons, capable of putting any man on the shoulder blades. One of them - Andreeva Svetlana Mikhailovna, the world kickboxing champion - teaches women's boxing at our sports school. She does not seek to make great warriors out of all girls, but teaches how to resist a man in a difficult situation.
Kickboxing
It is customary to call kickboxing a fist fight with kicks included in it. Women's kickboxing is less rigid than boxing. Scars, cuts and bruises are unlikely as girls tend to have long legs - they are used in kickboxing for protection. Therefore, kickboxing is an activity for girls who are not the smallest. In addition, there are restrictions on impacts to the body.
There is only one main difference in boxing for men and women - it consists in the mandatory wearing of special protectors on the chest.
Kickboxing, in addition to the ability to stand up for oneself, teaches concentration, attentiveness, trains reaction. And these are very useful skills not only within the walls of the gym, but also in the real world.
Girls who practice kickboxing are often more beautiful and feminine in relation to female boxers. They have an almost flawless figure and a beautiful face, thanks to constant training and work on themselves.
Boxing
It was once believed that only desperate girls who have nothing to lose go to boxing: offended, beaten, notorious, dreaming of compensating for their shortcomings where men dominate.
Perhaps this was the case before.
But men and women are not the same type. Some guys tend to do rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming, and some girls have a predisposition for weightlifting or boxing.
If you exclude bloody blows, you can look at boxing from a completely different angle. It is like a dance, a kind of fitness that strengthens the figure, helps to lose weight, makes a person's movements more free, relaxed, coordinated.
In addition, boxing radically changes a woman, moreover, for the better: she becomes more free, independent, able to stand up for herself in unpleasant situations.
Is it bad?
Boxing is ideal for letting off excess steam. After a hard day at work, you can perfectly discharge in training by waving your fists. After that, does a woman want to "throw plates" at her husband?
Thai boxing
Muay Thai or Thai boxing is the toughest of contact martial arts, and the maximum possible number of punches is allowed. The traditional fist and foot are connected to the elbows, shins, forearms and knees. If in boxing and kickboxing clinch is a “peaceful distance” where athletes feel relatively safe, then in Muay Thai this distance is one of the most dangerous.
Knee and elbow strikes are swift, almost impossible to see and block. Plus, they're amazingly powerful.
Throws and grabs in Muay Thai are also prohibited, but, as the practice of real "fights without rules" shows, this element of single combat is not required. There is only one opportunity for boxers and kickboxers to resist a fighter who has studied Thai boxing - to keep him out of close range.
Muay Thai has rightfully earned the title of one of the toughest and most effective martial arts. No wonder in America it is called "mortal combat".
Muay Thai is classes for girls who are confident enough in themselves, firm not only in body but also in spirit. Sometimes in training you have to be tough and strong. However, having reached the end, you will understand that you are able to repulse not only an ordinary attacker from the gateway, but also real boxers and kickboxers.
If you are in doubt about the choice of the type of martial arts, we advise you to start with kickboxing: not as hard as boxing, not as hard as Muay Thai. After going to several classes with our professionals, you will understand whether to lower or increase the level of workload, and the teachers, assessing the level of your abilities, will give the best advice on choosing a section.
If you are still thinking whether to record or not, we tell you with confidence - it will never be superfluous to try. If you don’t like it or if it’s too hard, you can always leave. But who knows, perhaps you will find yourself in these types of martial arts.
