New Muay Thai Class

Muay Thai is officially on the weekly schedule and included in every membership at Gracie Barra Jefferson City.

Muay Thai is the national sport and cultural martial art of Thailand. Muay Thai is often referred to as “The Art of Eight Limbs”; and uses eight points of contact for striking – hands, shins, elbows and knees. Unlike some other striking sports, it also teaches fighting while clinched (close fighting), and involves sweeps and throws. Muay Thai was derived from Muay Boran which is a Thai fighting style that existed before the 1930s. Today, Muay Thai is probably the most prominent striking discipline utilized in mixed martial arts (MMA).

Kids class for ages 10-15 followed by adult class.
