Difference Muay Thai & Kick Boxing | Northern Beaches Thai Boxing

Difference between Muay Thai / Thai Boxing and kickboxing,

Muay Thai / Thai Boxing is a sport that uses 8 points of striking, punches, kicks, elbows and knees, while kickboxing has a 4 point striking system involving only punches and kicks. Kickboxing fighters movement and technique to fighting tends to be more defensive and set up, whereas Muay Thai relies on heavy and aggressive motions, finding openings for counter attacks and minimal head movement and weaving that you would typically find in kickboxing. Kickboxing was inspired by components found in Muay Thai by Japanese boxing expert Osamu Noguchi, who developed the fight style wanting to add elements of Karate and Western Boxing as well.

First class Muay Thai! Every instructor is a fighter, and the high... discipline doesn't take away from the friendly atmosphere. I've got a 6 year old boy on classes and it's great having the kids class surrounded by teenagers and adults all going hard at it. Nick has been our trainer and has great coach energy for the kids. We have done other martial arts and my boy hit the pads more in the first 10 mins than most classes. Really good combination between technical, physical and agility. Can't recommend high enough.read more

Best Muay Thai Gym EVER! I'm in Australia for business from the US... and they are able to accommodate me for my short stay. I can tell they are really passionate about May Thai and wants everyone to learn it. Amazing trainers (Nick and Num) who are knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. I love how it’s more focused on learning Muay Thai techniques over just a group fitness class. It is definitely more personalized and feels like you are getting a one on one training. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!read more

I recently joined this Muay Thai gym, and it has exceeded all my... expectations. As a beginner, I was initially intimidated by the idea of Muay Thai training, but the welcoming atmosphere and patient coaches immediately put me at ease. Coach Num, in particular, stands out for his dedication to ensuring that students truly grasp the techniques, rather than just mindlessly hitting and punching.The gym itself is immaculately clean and conveniently located, making it easy to commit to regular sessions. The equipment is top-notch, ensuring both safety and effectiveness during workouts.What truly sets this gym apart is its emphasis on technique and skill development. Coach Num and the other trainers prioritize teaching proper form and technique, rather than simply focusing on hitting bags. They break down each movement step by step, patiently guiding students through the process until they feel confident and proficient.Moreover, the gym offers a diverse range of classes tailored to different skill levels and interests. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, there's always something new to learn and explore.Overall, I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in Muay Thai, especially those who value meticulous instruction and a supportive learning environment. It's a place where beginners can feel comfortable and empowered as they embark on their martial arts journey.read more

Muay Thai Gym has multiple supportive and friendly trainers who... strive to improve your Muay Thai skills in every class! The grouped classes allow for you to meet new people and work to be the best you can become! I love the individualised aspect - the trainers focus on your skills as an individual rather than addressing a whole group. You sweat at least half your body weight - highly recommend!!!read more

Amazing trainers who teach you the grass roots of Muay Thai. I love... how it’s more focused on learning actual Muay Thai over just a group fitness fighting class. It is definitely more personalised and feels like you are getting a one on one focus with the trainer each class. Highly recommend you come on down! You also have a 3 day free trial which is amazing as it means you don’t have to rush into things if you are unsure after your first visit.read more

I wanted a local gym that has a nice vibe - which for me means not... intimidating and no TV screens. And somewhere that, yes it's hard work but it's also fun. I tried a few places and this had the best combination of those factors. I've never done any type of boxing before and the teachers and other members are really helpful and encouraging. And it's challenging learning a new skill, which also keeps the brain engaged - nice co-benefit. Highly, highly recommend, even if you never want to actually fight. It's a fun way to incorporate movement and exercise into your lifestyle.read more
