What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai is the ancient art of Thai Boxing that has evolved in Thailand over the last 2000 years. Muay Thai has been handed down through generations and is a part of the Thai legacy that played a major role in restoring of Thai freedom in the year 1584. It has continued on and has now become what it is today, a sport, a form of self-defence, fitness and undeniably an art form.
At the Academy we have a grading system for Muay Thai, which works through 7 ranks, with each rank to be achieved having a recommended training time to complete. The first beginners rank being White where you learn the basics of movement, foot work and striking skills to Black rank where you have a full understanding of Muay Thai and can perform all skills with a high degree of proficiency and prowess.
When you successfully complete each grading you receive a certificate, certifying your rank and a coloured training shirt, which denotes the rank you have achieved. This shirt displaying your rank must be worn to each training session until you achieve the next higher-ranking colour.
