MUAY THAÏ
Muay Thai, sometimes referred to as "Thai boxing", is a martial art and combat sport that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This discipline is known as the "art of eight limbs" as it is characterised by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins. Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the late-20th to 21st century, when Westernised practitioners from Thailand began competing in kickboxing and mixed-rules matches as well as matches under Muay Thai rules around the world. The professional league is governed by The Professional Boxing Association of Thailand (P.A.T), sanctioned by The Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT).

MOTIVATION
What started out as a simple hobby, rather a vast necessity to canalize aggression, turned into a Martial Arts Club with various categories for children, a ladies only and adult group for all those who want to develop themselves through Martial Arts.
​
There are a million reasons to practice Martial Arts, Fitness, Cross Fit or any of that kind. Meeting people with the same interest, a growing freedom and individuality in the development of your body and mind, conquering your doubts, uncertainties and fears, the adrenaline in facing your opponent, the love of the sport or becoming a professional MMA fighter. The reason is different for every person and changing along the years of practicing.
The only reason that really counts is
YOURS!
So follow it?
​
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Throughout your development
you will not only become aware of the development and functioning of your own body and mind but also of your adversary.
Learning techniques,
applying and training them by repetition
in circumstances where resistance and opponents are alternating increasing,
will lead to a growing awareness
of who you are,
your potentials and how
you will become the person
you never thought possible
or perhaps the one
you dreamed of.
AGRESSION
Before you can act upon aggression,
you have to know its true nature!
A lot of people are carrying active and passive aggression inside, collapsing for the very wrong reasons, doing themselves, others or their surrounding unnecessary harm and damage.
Aggression is always in us.
Whether we are
the engaged responding to it or
the aggressor for whatever flammable
reason you might embody, in both ways
it's very valid to discover its true source,
so you are, besides just aggressive,
also truthful.
SELF DEFENCE
It is no secret, people and society are becoming more and more aggressive.
Is it the speed of our contemporary life,
the technological evolution drifting us further away from each other or a universal change of which we have no control of?
We don't really know, do we!?
​
What we do know, is that it's growing.
How you want to address it, is up to you.
As an aggressor or a defender. Or maybe both, to lead you into harmony.
​
In any way, developing your body to the most refined lethal instrument never happens without the mind behind it.
How you are going to use it, can save your life or monopolize your future.
In any case, you are making the choice.
ASSERTIVENESS
Self confidence is not obvious to everyone.
​
Internal and external influences
such as your own self-image,
failing parenting, abuse, feelings of worthlessness, neglect, etc. prevent us from developing the necessary assertiveness to have confidence in ourselves.
Feelings of doubt, uncertainty and even inadequacy can lead to the loss of a precious childhood or manhood. Through the practice of a Martial Art you will face "your reality", discover your potentials and your limits, mark them and keep them. Thus, you will come into contact with your "inner self", who you really are.
A self-respecting person
who will stand up for him
for any reason.
FEAR
Everyone has fear!
The fear of the absolute beginner, who has been doubting or considering stepping into a Martial Art to feel more secure or simple being able to defend him/herself.
The fear of every fighter
up to the most professional MMA fighter.
If he says he has no fear,
he has not been KO-ed yet.
But more important of knowing everyone has fear, is knowing yours.
Because nobody became a warrior by avoiding his or her fear. There is only one way to change fear into something useful, in confidence, and that is to challenge it, "by doing it". If not you keep carrying it around, wasting precious time of your life. And than, you didn't learn from it.
