Muay-Thai

Muay-Thai, also known as Thai Boxing is Thailand’s national sport and cultural martial art. It originated hundreds of years ago in the 14th century as a form of close combat where the entire body resembles munition.

Muay Thai is known as “The Art of Eight Limbs” because it uses eight points of contact on the body to imitate “weapons of war.” The hands became the sword and dagger. The shins and forearms were reinforced in preparation to serve as armour against strikes. The elbow is used to drop enemies like a mace or hammer. The legs and knees had become the axe and staff. When fighters are battling and attempting to spin an opponent to the ground, the knees and elbows are actively looking and checking for an opening in their opponent. The body works as a single entity.

Moral principles and self-discipline are in Muay-Thai as well. Muay-Thai also instills humility, self-confidence, and modesty in its practitioners. Muay-Thai is a ritualistic art form that integrates essential principles and lessons into its practice. For example, the fighter’s pre-competition homage dance is called Wai Kru. Wai Kru is a practice that shows a student paying respect to his or her instructor who supported them to become Muay-Thai fighters. The ceremony is a show of appreciation for the teacher, as well as the parents and relatives.

So, can you practice Muay-Thai through virtual classes?

Everyone has a unique situation while in lockdown but here is the simplest answer: Yes. As long as you have a 4ft-by-4ft area space where you can move around, you are all set to practice Muay-Thai in virtual classes. The lockdown will be only temporary. PSB Fitness will be thrilled to welcome all of our members into our beautiful Brampton gym.

Benefits of Assault Self-Defence at PSB Fitness

Self-Defence Builds Confidence

Knowing yourself is key, as we learn to understand our capabilities when we put our minds to it.

Self-Defence Improves physical performance

Self-Defence classes are not only a great way to protect yourself from harm, but also physical conditioning. This includes things such as cardio, strength, and endurance. During an assault, self-defence requires the body to stay relaxed. Being physically conditioned is required to defend yourself, or else you will be too tired to defend off the attacker. For this reason, self-defence classes are a great form of exercise creating a full-body routine.

Self-Defence Develops fighter’s reflexes

In the event of an attack or assault, seconds can make a difference in the outcome of your safety. You can’t afford to stand and wait for something to change. You have to be ready and prepared for their next move. For this reason, self-defence courses can help you improve your reflexes and give you an edge in understand what to do within those few seconds, also known as fighter reflex. awareness Therefore, this fighter reflex is a trained signal that responds with the correct choices and actions.

Self-Defence Improves your self-awareness

Self-defence not only teaches you to deal with physical conflicts but also makes you more aware of your surroundings. This is due to the fact that attacks will occur at any moment and in any place. Self-defence classes can teach you to think at all times in the event of an attack. It not only makes you more conscious, but it also alerts you of the most common places for attacks.
