10 Reasons to book a Muay Thai Camp in Thailand

Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand and holds deep roots in Thai history and culture. What better place to learn a sport than where it originated? When you learn Muay Thai in Thailand, you will experience the culture and spirit of Muay Thai first hand with the local trainers and fighters on-site. Beyond just the physical aspect, you can also learn about the history of Muay Thai, where and why it began, and how it has changed throughout the years.

Muay Thai fighters start training as young children and dedicate their lives to the sport. Training is passed down generation to generation allowing years of Muay Thai knowledge to be instilled in each fighter. The trainers, most of whom are retired fighters, have years of experience and are incredibly wise. They will provide insight and explain techniques that you won’t learn anywhere else.

Muay Thai is unlike any other sport. It’s intense nature presents both a physical and mental challenge and requires concentration and discipline. Many people enjoy Muay Thai because it forces you to be present and focus on the task at hand, releasing any other thoughts or stressors that may be on your mind. It is also physically challenging and requires a full-body effort. Training will leave you feeling both completely exhausted and extremely satisfied with what you can accomplish when you push yourself to new limits.

Getting to know people with a life experience different from your own is also a great way to expand your global knowledge and broaden your horizons. Who knows, you might make a great friend, learn something new or add a destination to your next travel itinerary.
