| Pain is temporary. Quitting is forever. |
It was a couple of months when we decided to enroll ourselves in Muay Thai training. Actually, I only have few backgrounds about it, though I have tried about 3 sessions, but unfortunately I did not comeback to the training that I had last June.
I am grateful that I have a training buddies, they are Angela and Olive, hopefully some of their friends would also like to join.
We enrolled the 5 months (12 sessions per month) for a cost of 5,000 pesos. Actually, if you are going to avail the per month session its cost around 2,500 pesos. So, it is a big savings for us. I'll be having a own blog about on our Muay Thai journey.
So far, we already started our first training, and it was fun. Because our Kru (teacher in Thailand) does not gave us a heavy training, what we learned on our first session are the basics for the arms and feet movement in Muay Thai.
According to Wikipedia:
Muay Thai (Thai: มวยไทย, RTGS: Muai Thai, IPA: [mūɛj tʰāj]) is a combat sport from the muay martial arts of Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This physical and mental discipline which includes combat on foot is known as "the art of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins and feet, being associated with a good physical preparation that makes a full-contact fight very efficient.
Muay Thai is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science of Eight Limbs" because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight "points of contact", as opposed to "two points" (fists) in boxing and "four points" (hands and feet) used in other more regulated combat sports, such as kickboxing and savate.
I want to engage myself in this such spors, I have to use this as a tool for my 52 weeks pushing through.
I have to consume the one year membership for this wonderful sport.
Cheers,
