Muay Thai

Muay Thai

Muay Thai (or simply "Thai boxing") is an ancient martial art whose origins are obscured by time. Originally developed in Thailand as part of a battlefield art, the hand-to-hand techniques later began to develop into a boxing style. Exhibition and challenge matches of this boxing style came to be an important part of many Thai festivals and rituals. Initially, these bouts were fairly violent affairs, where fighters' hands were wrapped in hemp rope and dipped in resin or starch, which hardened the wraps and made the hands even more lethal. It wasn't until the mid-20th century that Thai boxing developed into its modern form, with boxing gloves and a standardized rule set. Modern Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand.

Filipino Martial Arts

Filipino Martial Arts

The ancient native arts of the Philippine Islands are referred to collectively as the Filipino martial arts (FMA). Weapons play a prominent role in these arts; however, the weapon training is designed to promote the understanding of body mechanics that can be used for empty-hand fighting. The most recognizable weapon among the FMA is the double sticks. These sticks were initially training tools that represented the swords and machetes used in ancient warfare, but the sticks themselves have become the focus of study in most modern styles. The drills and techniques of FMA are taught in a non-restrictive and fluid manner, which allows students to spar freely through all phases of combat.

Jeet Kune Do

Jeet Kune Do

Known by many as simply a movie star, Bruce Lee is renowned in the martial arts community as one of the first people to foster the modern interest in cross-training and mixed martial arts (MMA). To further this interest, he developed Jeet Kune Do (or "way of the intercepting fist"), which is not so much a style as a combat philosophy. While there are guiding forms and principles, the thrust of the Jeet Kune Do philosophy is that all techniques must be adjusted according to the situation and the individual, so that the techniques can be executed fluidly in a live-sparring situation, and thus also in real combat.
