You may be asking what will I learn in Muay Thai? The ancient combat sport of Muay Thai will teach you how to skillful strike with eight limbs of your body ( 2 fist, 2 elbows, 2 knees and 2 shins).

Being a good training partner is one of those things that most people don’t think about when they first join a gym and start learning a martial art. This is totally normal. When it’s your first day or even your first month, you are usually inwardly focused because your main goals revolve around not embarrassing yourself and building up your endurance.
To help provide some background information, this blog will follow along with the video of Alby Tam of Combat Culture in San Francisco and help answer the most basic questions about Muay Thai: where it comes from, its general rules, and even some of its benefits.
As Muay Thai grows in popularity, more and more people with martial arts backgrounds have begun to seriously think about either cross-training with Muay Thai or becoming exclusively Muay Thai fighters. While it’s safe to assume that having a martial arts background is not going to work against you as you learn Muay Thai, some people will have an easier time transitioning than others.
