Kickboxing is one of the best martial arts that you can do, period. Muay Thai is the style of kickboxing that we teach at Mata Leao, and the benefits are numerous. Let’s examine.

We don’t spar hard.
Part of the lessons that I have learned in training for my fights is that it’s best to spar very lightly with Muay Thai. Disclaimer, in class the coaches will teach you legitimate techniques and there will be some contact. However, no one is going to beat you up or hit you hard! When you get to the level of wanting to test your skills, then there will be opportunities to do so. However, a wise man once said that technique should come first. Power and speed should come later!
Relieves Stress
I just got handed two HUGE L’s in life. My car got stolen on Monday and a fight that I was training for months for bottomed out. What keeps me centered and balanced in life ( and keeps the existential whiskey fueled crises at bay? Muay Thai KICKBOXING. When I found out that my car was stolen, I went straight to the bags. Usually I train my technique really light so as to maintain proper form. However, that night I really let ‘er rip and absolutely shredded the bags with resounding blows that gave me catharsis. Remember, wherever you are in life, there’s always a way to move forward in a positive direction. Generally, martial arts is the best way to get out of a tight spot because it’s great exercise and a legitimate form of therapy/ meditation. So, come down to Mata Leao and get your 30 day free trial! You’ll thank me, and yourself later.
