Muay thai
🇹🇭
MUAY THAI IS A MARTIAL ART FROM THAILAND, IT IS THE NATIONAL SPORT.
The word “muay” derives from the Sanskrit Mavya and Thai comes from the word Tai. Muay Thai is referred to as the “Art of Eight Limbs” or the “Science Of Eight Limbs” because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight “points of contact”, as opposed to “two points” (fists) in Western boxing and “four points” (hands and feet) used in sport-oriented martial arts.
The classes have a friendly and motivating atmosphere to help develop you both physically and mentally. Safety is a top priority at the Renzo Gracie Academy and proper control is emphasized during training. We offer classes during the afternoon, evening, and on Saturdays.
