Muay Thai is a very interesting sport – mostly because it is not just a physical sport- but more of a lifestyle, a culture of the Thai people. It is a holistic way of life which fully embraces a total detoxification of both the body and mind. In Thailand, the people are calm and easygoing naturally. Muay Thai fully reflects this.
Muay Thai is a very intensive martial arts sport that involves fighters competing inside the a ring in a series of five three-minute rounds, broken by two-minute breaks after each round. Muay Thai engages more than just the fists unlike regular boxing. The Muay Thai fighter makes use of his fists, elbows, shins and knees in a full-body combat with his opponent until one person is bested by the other. This technique is what lends it its nickname, “The Art of Eight Limbs.”
Thailand is home to the most sophisticated and fully equipped Muay Thai training camps. These training camps are facilities where everything about Muay Thai is taught to the fighters at their different levels of experience. In these training camps, highly skilled and very experienced professional coaches train the fighters. They understand the dynamics of the different levels of physical fitness (beginner, intermediate, advanced), and drill them accordingly. These trainers – who are sometimes retired Muay Thai fighters themselves – ensure that fighters train safely.
Apart from being a dream vacation location (with the picturesque beaches and sunny tropical climate), Phuket is home to some of the very best Muay Thai training camps in Thailand. Suwit Muay Thai training camp at Phuket is an example of good experience.
