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).

When Alby Tam of the San Francisco-based Muay Thai gym Combat Culture was growing up, the only combat sport that he remembers watching with any regularity was boxing (we’re not counting the WWF and WCW). Every so often, however, he’d stumble across a different kind of martial art that he’d never seen before. It was usually late at night, and usually on a station that he didn’t watch very often, but it was here that he caught a glimpse of another type of combat sport where the fighters were wearing pants and shoes. They were also kicking each other.
One of the most enduring strategies in any martial art is to wear down your opponent’s energy until they make mental mistakes that you can then exploit. With jiu-jitsu, this kind of strategy is often more defensive—you force your opponent to attack, and then use technique to defend and escape from holds until they’ve tired themselves out. In mixed martial arts fighting, it’s far more common to take a more aggressive approach, and to wear down your opponents with a constant barrage of strikes.
Finding a new gym is always difficult, especially if you’ve recently moved to a new city and you don’t have a lot of connections in the area. As Shane Fazen of FIGHTTIPS and Vince “The Anomaly” Cachero explain in the below video, just about all of the things that anyone is really looking for in a new gym boil down to feeling comfortable, being challenged, and finding a group of people who will make you better. For younger fighters, you may also want to find an established fighter willing to take you under their wing.
