Muay Thai is one of the most popular forms of martial arts in Singapore. It's a great way to stay fit and active since it boosts your strength and endurance by using all your limbs throughout the session. Hence why it's called "The Art of Eight Limbs".
What's more, the movements you use are pretty straightforward: quick and powerful kicks, punches and knee jabs are the core of this martial art. Ready to start training? Here are the best Muay Thai gyms in Singapore.
