I came here for a Yelp event and an intro to the art of Muy Thai. We started with some conditioning and strength exercises and then transitioned into the art and technical aspect of Muy Thai stances, jabs, kicks, with proper form and force.
I consider myself to be relatively in shape and I found this to be challenging. The cardio portions of the exercises were fun and do-able. It's when it came to the strength training portion of the class that I found my weaknesses. My core has always been weak but it was nice to be able to find a new way of working it out besides doing only crunches or floor work.
I can see from a self-defense point of view this could also be very beneficial.
I found this intro class to be very interesting, fun and challenging with a non-traditional way of working out, from the usual gym routines.
I really enjoyed challenging my weaker points and also finding fun in discovering my strengths as well as learning something new about keeping fit and healthy.
I can see many health benefits with continuing to do Muy Thai and you could do it as your only go to for fitness strength and conditioning physically and mentally. It's really an all body and mind workout.
Thanks to Kru Nick for this experience! And Yes, I was sore in places I have never been before, for days to come. Just shows maybe I need to step things up a notch more regularly! Really fun way to work out!
