Sai's Studio 2000 Muay Thai Fitness

Muay Thai boxing is the ancient martial art form of Thailand. Also called the “Science of Eight Limbs”, this can be a brutal sport involving punches, kicks, knees and elbows. So getting properly trained under the supervision of an experienced and certified professional instructor is essential for learning Muay Thai. In order to provide properly structured training, it is important to improve the fitness standards of the students.

The prime objective of Muay Thai boxing fitness is to develop the strength and stamina required to perform the arduous and lethal Muay Thai techniques. These fitness standards involve fitness drills, stretching, abdominal exercises, building up shoulders and strengthening leg and calf muscles. These exercises can be performed at the beginning of the class as a warm up and also during the class to build fitness. A participant will build up to perform 50-100 sit-ups, 50-100 push-ups, chin-ups, 100 knees, 100 kicks and also drills on the bag.
