What is Muay Thai?
The Art of Eight Limbs - Thailand's oldest and most effective martial art.
The Art of Eight Limbs
Muay Thai – often simply called Thai boxing – is known as "The Art of Eight Limbs" and is Thailand's national martial art with over 2,000 years of history. Unlike other combat sports, Muay Thai uses the entire body as a weapon: fists, elbows, knees, and shins form the eight points of contact.
This comprehensive fighting style makes Muay Thai one of the most effective stand-up combat arts in the world. The techniques were originally developed for the battlefield and imitate ancient weapons of war - arms move like a sword, shins strike like a staff, elbows and knees like a battle axe.
"The body becomes the weapon - every movement has meaning, every technique tells a story."
History & Philosophy
The origins of Muay Thai date back over 2,000 years to the training techniques of the Siamese army. Soldiers needed a fighting style that utilized their entire body when they lost their weapons in battle.
Traditions & Respect
The Wai Kru Ram Muay is a ritual dance performed before every fight. Fighters circle the ring counterclockwise, praying in each corner. Then follows the Ram Muay, a choreographed dance to traditional Thai music.
The Mongkhon (headband) and Pra Jiad (armbands) are traditional elements worn during fights. They are believed to bring good luck to the wearer and carry cultural significance beyond practical protection.
Mutual respect is the foundation of Muay Thai. After every round and match, fighters show respect through embraces and handshakes.

For your training you need:
- Shorts – please no long training pants
- T-shirt
- Your own hand wraps – we don't lend them out
- Towel and water
- Running shoes – we run outside for warm-up when the weather is nice
We train barefoot, so no gym shoes needed. You can borrow boxing gloves for your first session. If you stay with us, you'll need your own – Sven is happy to advise you on which ones are worth it.
Yes! You don't need any prior experience – most of us started as complete beginners. Our trainers meet you exactly where you are. Your first trial class is free, and you can borrow boxing gloves from us for it.
Every age is welcome. If you're under 18, this applies to your trial class:
- Please come with a parent or legal guardian
- Without one, you unfortunately can't train – not even briefly
Why? For minors, the club needs a parent's consent before the first session. Without it, we're not covered if something happens.
