Muay Thai is a sport and martial art from Thailand that uses punches, kicks, knees, and elbows in combat. It’s known as the ‘Art of Eight Limbs‘. The program at the YMCA focuses on introducing the art of Muay Thai to youth as it guides them through various techniques, training exercises, and simulated combat scenarios. Participants will develop foundational skills and an understanding of Muay Thai’s principles through structured drills and practical applications.
