Can children learn Muay Thai boxing?
Muay Thai boxing is a martial art accessible to people of all ages, including children (girls and boys). Following a suitable course in Muay Thai training, youngsters will benefit enormously from the inevitable physical and mental improvements. Muay Thai boxing will improve a child’s self-confidence and self-awareness. As well as keep them quick and agile, healthy and strong. It is not unusual for children in Thailand to start their training at a very young age. In fact, if there is hope for a high level of success in the ring it is essential to begin training at the earliest possible moment. For example, my two children Nina (11)and Christopher (9)already has a good idea of the various Muay Thai techniques and traditions. Naturally, at this age training is not at all intensive. It is approached with a sense of fun as part of play. Very young children are not encouraged to hurt one another.
