Muay Thai is amazing! Not only will it give you an envious physique, but it will enhance your mental fortitude and prepare you for many real-life situations, even outside of fighting.
The beautiful symphony of punches, kicks, elbows, and knees, which we call Muay Thai might be a complex martial art, but in reality is very simple to start. What are the benefits for beginners?
Your Physique Will Improve Immensely
Getting the perfect summer physique with the help of weird gym exercises like crunches and biceps curls is much more boring and less effective than giving your all in a functional Muay Thai session.
What exactly a Muay Thai training session entails ranges from club to club, but most clubs warm up with cardio exercises, like rope skipping, and incorporate strength training such as push-ups, squats, and even pull-ups.
Because of the intense use of both the upper and lower body, Muay Thai can burn more calories than both boxing and running – up to 600 calories in just one hour. Everyone who dedicates some of their time to Muay Thai eventually becomes stronger, leaner, and much faster.
Mental Strength and Willpower
The warrior spirit and mindset are important parts of any martial artist’s life. The discipline it requires to train would make your will unbreakable which would help you in many tasks
Did you know that Muay Thai is also called the “Art of 8 limbs”, because of the use of both elbows and knees? This also makes it quite a mental exercise to coordinate the entirety of your body’s arsenal toward one common goal.
Muay Thai Will Teach You To Protect Yourself and Remain Calm
As far as hitting techniques go, Muay Thai is regarded as the best on the planet. This is due to the fact that it works well in all upright fighting situations. Muay Thai assures that you are employing all of your body’s arsenal.
In addition, thousands have tested Muay Thai over a long period of time in both competition and real-world circumstances, making it as quick, effective, and potent as it possibly can be. So you may be confident that, should the need arise, you would learn the essential self-defence techniques to defend yourself.
Final Words
If your goal is to become strong, and quick, to look fit, while also mastering a wholesome martial art that can help you in any life situation, and improve your mental focus, Muay Thai is for you. There is no need to wait, the sooner you start, the greater the benefits will be.
