Muay Thai
Muay Thai is a form of hard martial art practiced in large parts of the world, including Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries.Traditional Muay Thai practiced today varies significantly from the ancient art muay boran and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Art of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art.
A practitioner of Muay Thai ("nak muay") thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight "points of contact," as opposed to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.
Colin began his Martial Arts Journey at the age of 17 with traditional Karate which sparked his passion for a faster moving more effective system of Combat known as Muay Thai. Colin brings with him a wealth of primarily stand up Combat and Strength and Conditioning skills which can directly translate to effective training of students wishing to fight or students just looking to train and get in the absolute best shape of their life. Colin is extremely passionate about all aspects of Martial Arts and strives to continue learning new technique art, strength and conditioning relevant to Martial Arts, Diet and Nutrition and above all to be a strong force which will round out Richmond Martial Arts family.
