Muay Thai is an excellent martial art for kids to be a part of at an early age because it builds balance, coordination, endurance and strength that can be applied to many areas of their lives at home and at school. When parents sign their child up for a martial art like karate or taekwondo most of the time they are expecting that their child stays entertained for an hour or two a few days a week and learns discipline and self control, but not much beyond that.

Muay Thai pushes beyond just keeping the students entertained. The pace of the classes moves along swiftly and efficiently, incorporating techniques that are applicable to MMA or self defense situations. While taekwondo and karate neglect fitness and conditioning, Muay Thai puts emphasis on building physical strength, endurance, conditioning and living a healthy lifestyle, leading to a more complete martial artist. Muay Thai doesn’t require long, repetitive katas that lead to boredom and frustration. Instead, Muay Thai focuses on body conditioning and practical offensive and defensive techniques.
By enrolling your child in Muay Thai, you are ensuring that they are learning how to control their body, focus on self defense, expand their physical and mental limits and becoming stronger more health focused individuals.
