ABOUT US
ALL LEVELS WELCOME TO JOIN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
Muay Thai, or Thai boxing, is often described as the ‘Art of Eight Limbs’. It is a martial art that maximises the use of punches, elbows, kicks, and knees. Muay Thai is steeped in history and traditions closely linked to Thailand’s own history. An integral part of Muay Thai is conditioning – shadowboxing, cardio, abdominal/bodyweight resistance exercises all help to seriously boost your fitness levels, as well as your confidence.
The Archa Tong LSE Muay Thai Club is named after an orphanage in the remote hilltop region of Chiang Rai in northern Thailand. The abbot who has dedicated his life to the orphaned children was once a professional Thai boxer and the Muay Thai taught in the club comes directly from him.
