The Art of Eight Limbs
In today’s hectic world, people sometimes forget about satisfying their personal needs. We all have jobs, families, and hobbies to keep us occupied, but what if I told you that there is one sport, one art in which you can find real fulfillment in body, mind and spirit? Muay Thai, the ancient art of self-defense from Thailand, has been gaining prominence in America recently as both a sport and as an activity that allows ordinary people to achieve levels of fitness and inner peace previously thought unimaginable. The following are the main reasons anyone can use Kickboxing to improve their lives:
Self-discipline.
Self-discipline.
Beyond obvious physical skills like kicking, punching, and defending, Muay Thai offers you a whole new way of life, anchored by self-discipline. Arguably, self-discipline is the number one benefit to be gained from Kickboxing, because it is transferable to other aspects of your life.
Mental toughness.
Mental training is often overlooked by beginners, but it is vital for optimizing your competitive ability in the ring. To be the best you can be, you will learn to visualize your efforts and employ the power of positive thinking to the craft.
Weight loss.
The very nature of Muay Thai training is geared to working all your limbs and improving your overall cardiovascular endurance. Muay Thai emphasizes the fundamentals: stance, footwork, punches, kicks, knees, elbows, and various clinch techniques. Combined with mandatory pre-workout warm-ups and stretching, you will begin to feel different and notice changes in 3-4 weeks.
Better overall self-defense and fighting skills.
Nobody wants to be violent, and certainly Muay Thai is mostly about inner strength and self-discipline. However, if you find yourself in tough situations where police are nowhere to be found, Muay Thai will give you the necessary self-defense skills to ward off petty criminals and escape difficult situations.
Making friends and meeting new people.
Muay Thai is great for building camaraderie and mutual respect, because of the effort you exert to achieve your physical and spiritual goals. There is nothing better than sharing experiences with your fellow combatants after a grueling session.
