What is Muay Thai Boxing?
Muay Thai is an ancient martial art, some say dating back 300 years, others up to 3,000. In its present form, it is the national sport of Thailand. Practitioners, or Nuk Muay, learn punches, kicks, elbows and knees from their instructor, the Kru. It is for this reason Muay Thai referred to as “The Science of Eight Limbs”. Muay is pronounced as “Moy”, like the oy in “boy”. Competitions take place in a ring with gloves, similar to Western boxing. At competition level, it is 100% full contact, and for this reason Muay Thai students are known for being exceptionally fit and well conditioned.

Why should I choose Cumbernauld Muay Thai?
We don’t have a set formula. The paths to success are many.
YOU tell US what YOU want to get from the class, and we tailor your training towards that goal.
You will have a training partner from day one, and you will be able to practice strikes safely on kick and punch pads.
Many MMA and Thai Boxing classes don’t teach certain techniques, believing them to be of limited use in a fight. We think this is wrong. When we say we are a “traditional” class, we mean we will teach you every technique, from a straight jab to high spinning kicks. We don’t hold back and we don’t compromise over anything.
