Since ancient times, martial arts have been predominantly men, and while they beat each other out of all the nonsense with bare hands, women sat at home and kept the hearth. But there were among the wrestlers and women who were considered a kind of exception to the rule. There were also entire nations in which matriarchy reigned. For example, the Amazons: according to legend, there were no men among them - they did not tolerate them and did all the work themselves. They did not just defend their state themselves, but even raided the surrounding area and were known as courageous and cruel warriors.

Many years have passed since then, however, among us you can find women, descendants of the Amazons, capable of putting any man on the shoulder blades. One of them - Andreeva Svetlana Mikhailovna, world champion in kickboxing - teaches in our sports school female boxing. She does not seek to make great warriors out of all the girls, but teaches how to resist a man in a difficult situation.

Kickboxing

Kickboxing is called fist fight with kicks included. Women's kickboxing is less violent than boxing. Scars, cuts and bruises are unlikely, since the legs of the girls are usually long - they are used in kickboxing for protection. Therefore, kickboxing is an activity for girls of not the smallest stature. In addition, there are restrictions on body shots.

There is only one main difference in boxing for men and women - it consists in the mandatory wearing of special protectors on the chest.

Kickboxing, in addition to the ability to stand up for yourself, teaches concentration, attentiveness, trains the reaction. And these are very useful skills not only within the walls of the gym, but also in the real world.

Girls who are engaged in kickboxing are often more beautiful and feminine in relation to boxers. They have an almost flawless figure and a beautiful face, thanks to constant training and work on themselves.

Boxing

It was once believed that only desperate girls who have nothing to lose go to boxing: offended, beaten, notorious, dreaming of compensating for their shortcomings where men dominate.

Perhaps it was so before.

But there are no identical types of men and women. Some guys tend to do rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming, and some girls have a predisposition to weightlifting or boxing.

If you exclude bloody blows, you can look at boxing from a completely different perspective. It looks like a dance, a kind of fitness that strengthens the figure, helps to lose weight. excess weight, makes human movements more free, relaxed, coordinated.

In addition, boxing radically changes a woman, and for the better: she becomes more free, independent, able to fend for herself in unpleasant situations.

Is it bad?

Boxing is ideal for letting off excess steam. After a hard day at work, you can perfectly discharge yourself in training by waving your fists. Would a woman want to “throw plates” at her husband after that?

Thai boxing

Muay Thai or Thai boxing- the toughest of contact martial arts. It allows the maximum possible number of strikes. Elbows, shins, forearms and knees are connected to the traditional fist and foot. If in boxing and kickboxing the clinch is a “peaceful distance” at which athletes feel relatively safe, then in Thai boxing this distance is one of the most dangerous.

Knee and elbow strikes are swift, almost impossible to see and block. Plus, they are amazingly powerful.

Throws and grabs in Muay Thai are also prohibited, but, as the practice of real "fights without rules" shows, this element of martial arts is not required. There is only one opportunity for boxers and kickboxers to resist a fighter who has studied Thai boxing - to keep him out of the close range.

Muay Thai has rightfully earned the title of one of the toughest and most effective martial arts. It is not for nothing that in America it is called "mortal combat".

Thai boxing is classes for girls who are quite self-confident, firm not only in body, but also in spirit. Sometimes in training you have to be tough and strong. However, having reached the end, you will realize that you are able to fight back not only the usual intruder from the gateway, but also real boxers and kickboxers.

If you are in doubt about the choice of martial arts, we advise you to start with kickboxing: not as hard as boxing, not as hard as muay thai. Having attended several classes with our professionals, you will understand whether to lower or increase the level of load, and the teachers, having assessed the level of your abilities, will give the best advice on choosing a section.

If you are still thinking whether to record or not, we tell you with confidence - it will never be superfluous to try. If you don't like it or find it too hard, you can always leave. But who knows, perhaps in these types of martial arts you will find yourself.

We approached this issue from a scientific point of view and empirically found out what Thai boxing for girls is.

Most of the girls came to Muay Thai, doing other sports before, someone athletics, someone yoga, or just walked in gym regularly, however, there are those who simply took up boxing, taking an example from friends and loved ones, up to this point, having nothing to do with sports. Most girls, starting to practice Muay Thai, knew practically nothing about him.

At the same time, “no thoughts about self-defense and a splash of unnecessary aggression” moved the girls when they first came to the hall. Some frankly admitted that they are peace-loving people and Thai boxing for them is primarily a sport, and not an extra opportunity to throw out their anger or indignation.

The motivation, as we can see, is quite simple and obvious, this sport has become one of the priorities in life for our respondents, an antidepressant, a generator vitality, a simple and drastic way to change yourself and your lifestyle.

Thai boxing with a woman's face

Thai boxing, according to athletes, makes a person:

• purposeful;
• seasoned;
• diligent;
• disciplined;
• resistant to stress;
• liberated;
• courageous;
• confident;
• calm;
• less conflicted and more collected.

In addition, this type of martial arts teaches you to respect others and cope with your fears and emotions.

Bruises, injuries and other fears

It's no secret that Muay Thai is a contact sport and comes with a risk of injury. However, none of the girls expressed fear or doubt about it. Many very sensibly emphasized that it was possible to get injured on the way to work, which happened to them more often than when they were playing sports. And to be honest, we do not remember the case that any of the girls received any serious injury in training. Bruises - yes, it happens sometimes, but no more. In addition, one bruise means nothing compared to the whole world of opportunities that this sport opens up for a person. Martial arts in this case can be compared with reading books, when at first glance it seems like a tedious, difficult and useless task, but it is worth making an effort of will, reading the first few pages, and an interesting and fascinating world opens up before you.

The goal of martial arts is not always fierce fights in the ring and winning championship belts. It is rather a way of life that brings pleasure, health and harmony to the life of an athlete, giving motivation and strength to achieve goals in everyday life: at work, in school, family, etc. Thai boxing brings up, first of all, the spirit of a person, which is the source of happiness and well-being. And to fight or not to fight is just the choice of a free person, and not an obligation, because in martial arts this is not the main thing, because it is not without reason that Muay Thai in translation means “a fight of the free”.

It is safe to say that Thai boxing is a sport for girls. More than a quarter of the athletes of the Veles club are girls, among them:

• masters and candidates for master of sports;
• champions and prize-winners of the Russian championship in Thai boxing;
• champions of Moscow and Moscow region;
• winners and finalists of the All-Russian and international tournaments in Thai boxing;
• as well as those who just want to be in a great physical form become more confident and learn to protect yourself.

Martial arts club "Veles" invites all girls to the Thai boxing school in Moscow for girls. A team of professional coaches and experienced athletes of the Veles club will help you master effective self-defense skills, learn the basic principles and techniques of Thai boxing, become more self-confident, stronger and learn how to achieve your goals.

I fell in love with my first Muay Thai training. The body said, "Yo baby, we need it!" and we stayed. But I will probably be the last person to recommend going to Muay Thai for a woman.

1. Muay Thai is not a fight, but a sport. To think that thanks to training you will be able to resist an inadequate man is a big illusion. In my opinion, this becomes (theoretically) possible after a few fights, when the body starts to react faster than the head. If the task is to learn how to defend yourself, it makes sense to go to specialized self-defense classes.

2. Muay Thai changes the body. From high-intensity loads the chest leaves (after a series of strokes, my pulse sometimes reaches 220 beats per minute). Just as those who lose weight keep “jeans of shame” as a keepsake, so a woman has a “box of crying”.

Pop leaves. Oddly enough, but the body considers the protruding fifth point for combat to be an absolutely superfluous, even annoying, detail. The butt becomes elastic, but shallow.

3. Muay Thai is an expense. First, to the hall. Muay Thai is pair sports and it is vital a) good coach a) a partner slightly superior to you in level. I am (so far) lucky: I have both in one place.

Second, equipment costs. At first glance, you need a little: the usual elastic form and gloves. But this is only at first glance.

Leatherette gloves fly apart in three months. With the increasing force of the blow, there is a need for bandages. The bag is needed not for the uti-way, but for which these very gloves will fit. Well, pads / stockings are sometimes also very handy.

Thirdly, it is the cost of food. As I already said, the loads (unless, of course, you don’t idle) are quite high and the power needs to be completely rebuilt. We need protein, we need vitamins - and good ones and a lot.

4. Muay Thai is bruising. On the legs, on the arms, on the thighs and in the place of the anterior bones of the pelvis (iliac bones). Moreover, it will most likely be bruises a) large b) passing just enough so that you have time to enjoy the palette of interchangeable colors.

5. Muay Thai is a limitation in female beauty. Extended nails with rhinestones? Forgot! Eyelashes 2 cm? Forgot! Nose fillers, cheekbones? Forgot! Unless, of course, after a missed blow, you don’t want to find the fillers that have moved out somewhere behind the ear))

6. Muay Thai is about time. The training lasts 1.5 hours. But very soon you realize that in order for you to get what you want to do, this time is catastrophically short. Even if you practice three times a week. And even if four. Three is the base that the coach gives. The fourth is the independent development of equipment: no one will give you a shell for an hour for sole use. Plus, you need running (for breathing) and stretching (and how without it?). How much is left for personal life and all sorts of movie dominoes figured out?

7. Muay Thai is painful. It just hurts and the gong hasn't rung yet. And we must continue.
Of course, not everyone falls in love with Muay Thai enough to change their lives.

And if you still want it, then where?

I know that there are mixed groups (men + women) and pure groups (men / women). I am engaged in mixed and the second time I would go to the same.

Firstly, to engage among men (no matter how skeptical they are about your attempts) - it makes a lot of sense: this unique opportunity to see them "as is" - in their strength and their weakness. It was during training that I can say I fell in love with men as a species.

Secondly, this is the bar set by men. If there are fist-clapping push-ups around you, it's just a shame not to do at least 10-15 regular ones.

Thirdly, "norm" in the mixed group is the norm for men. For women, of course, it decreases slightly, but it decreases relative to the same men, which means that for women it remains slightly higher than the female one.

Fourth, sometimes the partner does not come, and then you find yourself paired with a man.

And this, like all of the above, is cool))

1. Muay Thai is an opportunity (with impunity) to hit a person)). I find it very important to be able to do things that are socially discouraged. For example, lie, steal, and yes, beat people. Because life is rich in shades, nuances and situations, and it may well happen that the asocial choice will be the least energy-consuming and this will be critical. And you - oops - you can't.

1. Muay Thai is about focusing on moving forward. In my opinion, experience in ordinary life comes rather slowly. More precisely, "lyuli" arrive quickly, but the opportunity to do otherwise may not come soon. In Muay Thai, you come out of every sparring with a bunch of “ticks”: it doesn’t work here, it flew here. And in a day you have the opportunity (to try) to do otherwise.

1. Muay Thai is a constant readiness for the new. You can kill yourself by honing your technique on projectiles. You can wipe the monitor to the holes while viewing training and real fights. But here a living person stands in front of you and all the blanks crumble into dust: the partner does not at all what you so carefully prepared for.

1. Muay Thai is about respect. The inability to 100% predict the actions of the enemy simply makes him respect. It can also come from a newbie. It is precisely because he does not know how, he himself has not yet received much, and in general, he is young and impudent.

1. Muay Thai is the understanding that there is no limit. There is no quantitative, reflecting qualitative. There is no level that you can reach and calm down. There is no stretch that makes you better than your opponent. There will always be not even one who is better, but one who at some point is simply faster than you.

Muay Thai demonstrates that there is nothing more ephemeral than victory (and therefore figs with it]). 98% of training time is total physical training, working out blows and ligaments. Even sparring takes a small amount of time, and fights are very rare. And for the sake of this "rarely" so plowed in training, IMHO, is a bad thing. I asked those who speak: why do they need it? And no one told me about the medals.

Muay Thai vaporizes pride. You can't do everything. You can't do everything. Because you are not all at once.

Muay Thai (to me, anyway) always gives an endorphin kick. Every time after a workout, a hellish cocktail boils in my blood: I love everyone, I can do everything, I'm not afraid of anything. And considering that I still live without a camera and go to the office every day, this is vital for me))

First workout

Muay Thai, like any business that you do with all your dedication, sooner or later will make you change your whole life. So, before you get involved with Muay Thai enough to single out a glove nail in your shack and place a bulk order for bruise ointment, you should take a closer look at it.

Where to begin?

Before buying a subscription, it makes sense to go for a couple of trial lessons to different clubs with suitable prices, locations and schedules. You need to see the club from the inside, look at the approach of the coach, feel the atmosphere in the team, and so on.

Club

It is normal for someone to work out in the basement, someone is comfortable only in the haute couture interior. The first is not good, the second is not bad. You just need to figure out if it's right for you.

In addition to the subjective assessment of locker rooms and showers, it makes sense to pay attention to the equipment of the hall. At a minimum, there should be shells for testing different types punches: long bags of different density (just come and bang your fist) and wall pillows.

Trainer

The group is formed by the coach. Not the club's policy, not the interior, not the prices. They always go to a person and work with a person, and a coach as a person has his own relationship with Muay Thai, firstly, and his own approach to training, secondly.

You can get a general idea of ​​the first one by listening to the conversations of the coach with the “old men” before and during training.

For some, Muay Thai is life and passion, for others, sport and adrenaline. This will manifest itself in communication, in words describing the “work” and commenting on mistakes. Plus, how the coach himself relates to what he teaches, the emphasis will be placed in the training process.

Approach to learning. Muay Thai is a tough sport and expecting softness and political correctness from a coach is a strange thing. Plus, you need to understand HOW the coach sees the girl who came to the training (especially in the mixed group).

A girl, by definition, is weaker than any of the most novice male beginners, at first she doesn’t succeed in the simplest things, you can’t spur her on with obscenities, she can be offended and cry for a joke, she can get a bruise from any poke when demonstrating the exercise and this can be a problem. And this beauty must be taught something without crippling it.

In addition, it is worth finding out whether the coach has the ability to explain the same thing in different ways. different people, without losing patience, because from time to time you will be stupid mercilessly.

Partner

If the group is mixed (men + women), it is important to find out if any of the women go to classes on a regular basis. Muay Thai is a pair sport, but to stand in sparring with a man, albeit one weight class- not the most, in my opinion, a good moment.

Both of you will be afraid of doing something wrong (he - hitting the chest, you - not lifting the knee high enough when hitting the solar plexus) - as a result, neither will work at full strength.

Equipment

The usual equipment for the class: boxing gloves, T-shirt, leggings or special "Thai" shorts. In my opinion, you can come to the first training session in anything, as long as it does not hinder movement, and especially, does not interfere with raising your legs, but at the same time does not distract the male half from work. Many girls come to the hall to show what they have excellent figure and find yourself young man, strong and courageous. There is nothing wrong with this and often it happens, but you still need to be politically correct towards the coach, the process and those around you, after all, people have ordinary human desires))

It makes no sense to buy gloves for the first lesson (and for the second one). Anyway, for the first or second time, in addition to OFP (general physical training), the coach will give basic punches and kicks in the air for familiarization.

Shoes are not needed for training at all - classes are held barefoot or in socks. It is better to choose sports socks - they fit well on the leg and do not slip from lifting onto the fingers and from turning the legs.

Plus, you definitely need to take water with you (preferably in double the amount than for already familiar workouts), and a small towel to wipe sweat.

After workout

It is necessary to provide an opportunity to have a snack after class. Training (even the first one) will be very intense, with a high heart rate, from which the muscles can “burn”. In order to prevent this, it is advisable to eat (protein + carbohydrates) 30-40 minutes after the end of the workout.

If at this time you, with a sense of accomplishment, will carry your tired, but contented carcass home, then along the way you can just hamster protein bar with a protein index in the region of 50-60%.

And for two days after training it is better not to plan anything at all))

Can girls do Muay Thai? Need!

Yes, we have girls. In each of our halls, in each group, there are several girls. Everyone is happy, nothing was broken to anyone, everyone is alive and well.

Thai boxing - male sports? Do not listen to anyone (except us), we do not specifically create a separate “female group”, the girls work on an equal footing with the guys, or even better. Fight? Working in pairs is the most interesting thing. Scary at first, yes. But a lot of fun, we guarantee.

The difference between Thai boxing for girls and tai-bo

Quite often they confuse Thai boxing for women and tai-bo. Thai boxing is first and foremost martial arts, and tai-bo is one of the directions in fitness, in which there are adapted elements from Thai boxing. That is, it seems to be not just waving arms and legs in the air, but it seems to be close to martial art. No, not close. Yes boring.

Thai boxing is, firstly, a very suitable base for self-defense. God forbid, of course, but to find your bearings in time, not to get confused - it will definitely help. And not only to fight, but also to leave in time. Secondly, the best way in the world to keep yourself in shape, the loads are quite severe, the weight goes off instantly.

Come, see for yourself.

What to take with you to your first workout?

Any t-shirt, shorts, barefoot. And shower accessories. We will tell you what equipment to buy on the spot. If you have experience in classes, take everything you have: bandages, mouthguards, gloves, leg pads, groin protection.

What is the price?

Depending on the amount of training:

800 rubles
4000 rubles
5000 rubles

Thai boxing or muay thai is a type of martial arts who came to us from Thailand. In Europe and America, this martial art became popular only in the middle of the 20th century.
