Muay Thai

Step inside a Muay Thai gym in this easy Thai lesson! Follow a typical training session from start to finish: warming up with running, skipping rope and kicking the heavy bag, wrapping your hands, putting on gloves, and climbing into the ring. Find out why men and women enter the ring differently, how rounds and rest breaks are timed by the bell, and what it’s like to hit pads with a trainer. Then join in with the basic weapons of Muay Thai (punches, push kicks, knees and elbows) while hearing each word used naturally.

Thai Vocabulary:
ค่ายมวย (kâai muai) – Muay Thai camp / gym
นวม (nuam) – Boxing gloves
หมัดตรง (màt trong) – Straight punch
เข่า (kào) – Knee
ศอก (sɔ̀ɔk) – Elbow

Seeing each movement while hearing the word makes new vocabulary easy to understand and remember. Keep listening, keep learning, and enjoy your Thai journey!
