The art of Muay Thai (AKA Thai Boxing) is a not only a
competitive sport known worldwide, but a great workout for
anyone looking to enhance their fitness level and learn
effective standup self defense techniques. Muay Thai is a
form of kickboxing that involves boxing combinations, knees,
kicks, and elbows.
We follow a Ranking
System similar to the Muay Thai Institute of Thailand’s
Grading Structure of 6 Grade Levels. The 6 Components in no specific-order are:
#1: Attitude
#2: Team-Work
(Cooperation)
#3: Performance
(Consistently working HARD! High Intensity/Effort at every
class attended!)
#4: Techniques &
Related Skills (i.e Knowledge of Curriculum)
#5: Conditioning
and Improved Fitness Levels
#6: Attendance &
Commitment (Specific Time Requirements)
Our Muay Thai System is unique. No other school (that we are
aware of) has developed a Program which allows students to
learn and develop their skills in such a rewarding and
effective manner. The system allows the student to
physically develop flexibility, balance strength and
confidence with each new Rank (i.e Level). Each new rank
brings the student one step closer to the ultimate goal in
our system: Self-Actualization and The Rank of Level 6 (i.e
“Black Belt” in other Martial-Arts Styles).
How Our Program Works
We require all new students go through our "Intro To Muay
Thai" program. This gives new students a chance to work on
the fundamentals and get their conditioning up. After The
Intro Program, the student begins with “Level 1” classes.
Every one of our students is given an attendance card, where
their attendance is monitored and marked down for the amount
of classes the student has attended. In order for the Level
1 student to be assessed for a “Progress Check” at Level 1,
a student must have at least a minimum of 25 classes.
Testing is held at the instructors discretion, but you will
be given ample time to get ready for testing.

Boxing
We also offer traditional boxing classes to complement the Muay Thai training curriculum as well as our MMA program. All instructors have either trained and/or competed in western style boxing. A great deal of the techniques used in the Muay Thai curriculum involves the use of hands, foot and body movement. Boxing is a great form of self defense, fighting and fitness. Boxing classes are open to all Muay Thai students or as a stand alone program.
