Why Try Muay Thai?
Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand, and probably one of the best ways to experience the culture and history of Thailand first hand, and get a serious shot of fitness in the process! Muay Thai is not for everyone, but it is the most popular option on the Xtreme Thailand Experience and Koh Tao Adventure. You do not need any experience to give it a go, and feedback from our past customers just goes to show what you can get out of trying something completely new!
Boys and girls both practice the sport (in fact it is probably more popular with the girls!).
What to expect
The Muay Thai School is located 2 minutes walk from the Koh Tao Resort and set under Coconut trees in Sariee Stadium. The trainers will provide you will all the gear necessary to complete your one hour session (on the Koh Tao Adventure you get 5 sessions). After a warm up you will work on punching or kicking techniques, blocks and movements to out smart your opponent. It is a centuries old martial art, so there are litterally hundreds of Techniques, but you will start with the basics and it is a fun and sporty way to learn about the sport.
Fight night!
Once a month there is a fight night on Koh Tao, so you can see first hand pro Muay Thai fighters combating each other in the ring using some of the skills you can pick up in your sessions!
Great for your fitness
How good is it to go on holiday and look and feel better than when you left? With the Muay Thai sessions you give your self a good work out, and then you can spend the some quality rest time on some of Koh Tao´s incredible beaches!
