ADULT MUAY THAI AT Rising Tide Hi Tech 

Welcome to Rising Tide Hi Tech! We are excited to share with you the rich history and unique benefits of Muay Thai.

Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing, is a martial art that originated in Thailand. It is a highly effective striking system that uses punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. Muay Thai is known for its intense conditioning and emphasis on practical techniques that can be applied in self-defense situations.

Our curriculum is designed to take you from a beginner level all the way to advanced techniques. We focus on building a strong foundation of technique, developing power and speed, and improving overall conditioning. Our classes include a combination of shadowboxing, pad work, heavy bag work, and sparring, which allows students to develop their skills in a safe and supportive environment. Our students can expect to get stronger, lose weight, improve their conditioning, and learn self-defense.
