Thai Boxing and Culture
Experience the culture, travel Thailand and learn the art of Muay Thai (Thai Boxing), the “martial art of the eight limbs”. More than just a sports programme, you take in some of the cultural and language highlights, providing you with the perfect base to either learn Thai boxing or advance your skills in the country of the sports' origins.
Thai Culture and Boxing ProgrammeThai Boxing is the national sport of Thailand and one of the most popular forms of martial arts in Asia. The sport teaches you to combat your opponent using 8 different points of contact on the body - feet, knees, elbows and hands. The Thai Boxing programme has a number of different options. You can add in more boxing weeks and/or take out the Thai Experience/beach weeks.
The standard programme is broken into 8 weeks:
Bangkok Stop over
Upon arrival at Bangkok airport you will be met by a guide who will take you to the Hotel. You will be transferred by air-conditioned bus for your 2-night stop over which includes your breakfasts.
Week One
This week is your introduction to Thailand. During this week you will learn about Thailand, its people, culture, attitudes and customs, with some basic language lessons too. You will have a number of trips during this week.
Week two - Temple Stay & Outdoor Activities
Learn all about the Buddhist faith, with a stay in a Buddhist temple. Learn to meditate from the local Monks, a rare experience that most travellers do not have.
Week three to seven - Thai Boxing Training
For the next 5 weeks you will train in all elements of Muay Thai. Our instructor will take you through all the traditional training techniques and develop your overall skills as a Thai boxer. Whether you are an absolute beginner or have been learning this martial art for many years, our instructor will be able to develop a training programme to suit you.
