Kickboxing History:

The style of Muay Thai originates from Thailand and incorporates punches, kicks, elbows and knees. It was used in warfare and as a means of self defence. Eventually after being passed down orally and through demonstrations, Muay Thai became the national sport of Thailand.

BJC Muay Thai provides students with a system that provides effective Self defence applications, combined with competitive and sporting components. The syllabus also includes a grading system, similar to the one used in most martial arts. This grading system is used to distinguish the various levels attained by individual students with feedback on their progress and development whilst also providing them with achievable goals.

A basic class of Muay Thai consists of a warm up, Skipping, stretching, skipping, push-up and sit-ups, technique work, shadow boxing, partner drills and sparring. A typical class provides the student with a great overall workout, which is why many students enjoy the benefits on Muay Thai boxing classes.

Kickboxing is a freestyle martial art. It has it's focus on fitness and develops confidence to face a much bigger opponent in a confrontation. Most students join for the fitness and progress to participating in gradings for the coloured singlets.

Kickboxing is ideal for all ages, your instructor has trained with the national Thai trainer in 1993 and he has also trained ten fighters for bouts in the ring. The grading structure for Thai boxing is very similar all the way through the grades - with the exception of second degree. The gradees will skip and do a warm up, they will stretch and complete a set of push-ups and sit-up's appropriate to their grade.

Skills learned are then displayed on the various pads - including punches, kicks, elbows, knees, footwork, attack and defense techniques. After this, shadow boxing is demonstrated and finally the gradee’s will glove up and complete a set of sparring rounds. As a student progresses through the ranks, the sparring rounds become more technical.
