Physical Training

A trained body is the basis for success in any martial art, sport or physical discipline. Training is both simple and complex. It is important to know the methods and exercises to create a strong and flexible body, putting the utmost attention to safety and protection of the joints.

The physical training for combat is probably the most complete existing just because a fighter needs to train all skills of the body evenly.

We can divide the world of fitness in three major areas: Strength, Endurance and Flexibility that must be trained separately and interconnected in order to create a harmonious body.

In particular, we will cover some calisthenics and some small tools and methods to combine them in circuit training.

 

Muay Thai as a means of Meditation and Self-knowledge.

What primarily differentiates our Muay Thai training, from training with any fighter facing the competition that you can find around, is the intention behind it. For us the practice of Muay Thai is a meditative path inside where the opponent is not an enemy but our playmate, a being that acts as a mirror and helps us to know each other better. The lessons of this section are intended to give all the technical work and a physical strength that develops meditative consciousness itself.
