ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Pushing your limits and beyond: let’s plant ideas!
Self- defense, Strength, Cardio, Flexibility, Coordination, self- confidence, stress relief, full body workout: Muay Thai covers it all. Muay Thai, also known as Thaiboxing or the art of the eight limbs combines punches, kicks, knee strikes, elbow strikes and clinching techniques.
In this workshop you are going to learn your proper fight stands, how to punch and kick and how to throw elbows and knee strikes.
But don’t worry, we’re not going to fight one another, we do it with kicking shields, pads and boxing gloves. Sweating is going to be guaranteed but so is a lot of fun.
Muay Thai is an excellent way to clear your head and mind while strengten your body. It’s a physically intense activity that requires a lot of energy and focus, boosts your self- confidence and improves focus and concentration.
