Fitness Kickboxing / Muay Thai

What is Fitness Kickboxing / Muay Thai?

Fitness Kickboxing / Muay Thai helps you reach your fitness goals through the kickboxing / Muay Thai sports.

By continuous training, and following a moderate program, physical fitness can be achieved and maintained in the long run.

The techniques can be readily adopted for self-defense. In Muay Thai the students learn to evade attacks and how to counter.

A note from Reno:

The training is suited for both women and men.

One does not have to be an athlete to train Kickboxing / Muay Thai. In comparison to other types of martial arts less demands are made on agility on account of the many knee, fist and elbow techniques. The training involves all groups of muscles, so that a general physical fitness can be achieved. Due to the high intensity of training the sport is also exceptionally well suited for weight reduction.

Kickboxing / Muay Thai is not restricted to a certain age. It can be taught to children and senior athletes alike.

I recommend Fitness Kickboxing / Muay Thai to the following people:

1) If you are a beginner want to know and learn Boxing, Kickboxing and MuayThai martial arts
2) If you want to find a fun way to burn fat, instead of just running on treadmill
3) If you want to learn self defense skills
