Muay Thai is a martial art from Thailand that uses stand up striking along with various clinching techniques. Muay Thai is referred to as the “Art of Eight Limbs” or the “Science of Eight Limbs” because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes, thus using eight “points of contact,” as opposed to “two points” (fists) in Western boxing and “four points” (hands and feet) used in sport-oriented martial arts. Lead instructor, Charlie Cosens, has competed and trained in Thailand with some of the best mixed martial artists in the world. Muay thai is great for MMA and self-defense.
Charlie Cosens (owner of Cosens MMA) recently traveled to Thailand for the second time to train in Muay Thai. See the video below!
