Teach kids Muay Thai
Intro
Teach kids Muay Thai early and playfully to ignite a lifelong passion for combat sports.
These deceptively simple exercises help children building confidence while practicing combat sports. At some point they develop their own initiative and intuition, and naturally begin to explore and expand upon these exercises on their own, ultimately becoming self-directed learners.
Most important strive to practice everyday even if just for a few minutes!
