Frequently Asked Questions

Muay Thai, also known as the “art of eight limbs” (four points of contact through punch, kick, knee & elbow on both sides of the body), is a stand-up striking martial art from Thailand.

The best style to learn, is the one that resonates with you most. Try several martial arts and schools…see which one you enjoy the most, and where you feel you belong 🙏

Not at all. That’s like saying we need to be smart before we enroll in school.

On being “in shape”: The state of our body is merely a reflection of our lifestyles. So, if training is too difficult, it’s less the case that one is ‘out of shape’ and more the case that the body is in an adaptation phase.

On experience: This is a Muay Thai school; experience is only mandatory for the teacher so take the pressure off yourself lol Our classes are specifically designed to introduce the art to beginners and challenge those with experience.

Injuries only occur when mistakes are made. Mistakes are more likely to occur when there is a disregard for safety, or a lack of awareness of one’s movements and the surrounding environment. Student safety is the result of proper teaching, so you will learn how to move well without injuring yourself or others. And if there are any moves that you have a hard time with, no need to fear! Breaks from training and exercise/drill modifications are always welcome if needed.

Not in fundamentals classes. Sparring is reserved for intermediate level students who pass the beginner test (see question below) and most importantly, have a sound temperament while training. Sparring is not competition—it is merely another learning module done dynamically.

It depends. Not every student begins with the same physicality and/or skill, nor have the same availability to invest in developing both aspects. Regardless of where students begin in their training (ie. with plenty of experience or none prior), below are the physical standards that students must meet in order to be nominated for their intermediate level test:

• Skip 7-10 min. consistently

• Complete with good form throughout, a 45-60 min. strength and conditioning workout that consists of basic exercises, combinations and ab finishers

• Execute effective Muay Thai weapons & footwork with clean technique through padwork, bagwork and shadowbox

Improvements come from consistent and mindful effort, but don’t lose sight of enjoying the process. That’s always good place to start. However, if you would like to progress faster, join class at least 2-3 times a week.

I highly encourage everyone to make the most of learning Muay Thai. The intermediate level will simply open the doors to a higher level of training for students who are ready and passionate for more.

I train student-athletes with whom I’ve built a rapport on the basis that they have both:

1. The necessary work ethic to be physically and mentally prepared for the demands of competition

2. Positive character traits inside and outside of the school (both online and offline)
