What is the difference between muay thai and cardio kickboxing?
Cardio kickboxing and Muay Thai are both martial arts that involve the use of punches, kicks, and other strikes to defend oneself or attack an opponent. However, there are some key differences between the two styles.
Cardio kickboxing is a high-intensity cardiovascular workout that combines elements of kickboxing with aerobics and dance. It is typically done in a group fitness class setting and is more focused on getting a good workout rather than learning self-defense techniques or competing in fights.
Muay Thai, on the other hand, is a combat sport and martial art that originated in Thailand. It is also known as "the art of eight limbs," as it involves the use of fists, elbows, knees, and shins as weapons. Muay Thai training typically includes a combination of technique drills, sparring, and conditioning exercises. The goal of Muay Thai is to develop effective self-defense skills and the ability to compete in fights, rather than just getting a good workout.
Our cardio kickboxing class is 30 minutes and Muay Thai is 1 hour long.
In summary, cardio kickboxing is a fitness workout that incorporates elements of kickboxing, while Muay Thai is a martial art and combat sport that emphasizes practical self-defense skills and competition.
