Muay Thai uses every muscle in your body. With boxing you usually just work your arms, but with Muay Thai you punch, kick and use your elbows and knees, so you are using almost every muscle in your body in an interval-style training regime that most people find their body will respond to quickly.
Muay Thai encourages a strong mind that is courageous, focussed confident and disciplined. The long training sessions develop physical and mental endurance, training athletes to ‘fight to the end’.
