San Diego Muay Thai Kickboxing

What is Muay Thai? Referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs", the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this cardiovascular intensive martial art. Muay Thai originated from battlefield tactics used in the Thai army. Traditional Muay Thai (The military style) was used to fend off colonizing attackers and was developed in the 16th Century to defend the country and it's people. Thailand was never colonized! It is the national sport of Thailand, and is directly translated to Boxing Thai and therefore also known as Thai Boxing.

When utilized properly, the philosophy goes, " A 100 pound woman can knock out a 200 pound man with proper Muay Thai technique"! That's the Muay Thai we teach at American Boxing San Diego!
