Also known as the art of eight limbs, Muay Thai is a combat sport that originated from Thailand over a thousand years ago, and is now practiced by all kinds of people around the world. Known for its raw simplicity and maximum efficiency, Muay Thai is a striking-based martial art that utilizes punches, kicks, elbows and knees, along with clinching techniques.
Some people might feel intimidated when they think about Muay Thai and how intense it is. Well, it’s not a walk in the park, but one thing we can promise you is that anyone (yes, including you!) can pick it up – regardless of fitness level, age, gender, size, or martial arts background.

Here are 5 reasons to start TODAY:
1) Because it sculpts your body and melts away fat
In just a matter of months, you’ll notice your body getting leaner – if you train Muay Thai regularly. This is because you can accelerate your body’s metabolism and burn up to 1,000 calories in just 60 minutes of training! What’s more, it’s an effective full body workout, so you can be sure that you will burn off pesky fat and build lean muscle. Psst! When you gain more muscle, your body would then be able to burn more calories at rest (yes, even when you’re doing nothing!) – because muscles consume more calories than fats.
Apart from that, training would also improve your complexion, as your sweat would expel the trapped oil and dirt from your skin. Toxins would also be released more effectively, so you can be certain that you would be punching your way to great skin, on top of a toned physique!
2) Because you’ll get stronger mentally and emotionally
There’s no doubt that you would get physically stronger after training Muay Thai. Think about it: you would be spending all those hours at the gym hitting pads, heavy bags, skipping, shadowboxing, drilling and even sparring. Besides that, you would also toughen up mentally and emotionally. This is because Muay Thai would shape you to become a more determined, self assured individual.
Ask any Muay Thai practitioner, and you’ll find out that training has made them more resilient – especially in the face of their obstacles. With every challenge you overcome, you’ll not only get stronger, but braver too. Hence, you’ll learn to embrace new challenges and thrive outside your comfort zone.
3) Because it empowers you to believe in yourself
Apart from giving you a RockStar spirit to press on in the face of adversity, Muay Thai would also boost your self-confidence – especially when you break personal records and exceed your limits. After all, you probably didn’t know just how much you were capable of achieving before you started training.
The best part about having more self-confidence is the fact that you would stop doubting yourself and the choices you make, be it in or out of the gym. This would then make you a happier person, and you would be able to focus on the positive things in life.
4) Because you will know how to protect yourself and your loved ones
With crime on the rise in various cities, you never know when you might need to protect yourself and your loved ones. Even if you’re in the safest place in the world, you can’t guarantee that it’s totally crime-free. We believe that it’s better to be safe than sorry, so why not start training Muay Thai? It is not only highly effective, but has also been battle-tested and street certified for real life encounters.
What’s more, training would teach you to remain calm – even when you’re outside your comfort zone. So when you’re faced with danger, there’s no doubt that you would be able to handle it with a clear mind and get yourself and your loved ones out of such situations quickly.
5) Because you’ll gain a circle of lifelong friends
When you train regularly, you would be spending heaps of time with your training buddies in the gym. So be prepared to get super close to them, and spend time together outside the gym as well! Apart from being there to train and drill with you, these friends would also be there for you when you feel unmotivated, and would also celebrate all your victories with you.
