Nominated for: BEST Martial Arts
The development of Muay Thai saw the transformation of the human body into a multifaceted weapon inspired by the weapons common to the time. The shin became the staff of the pike, used to block and strike. The arms became the raised twin swords of defense. The fist functioned as the jabbing tip of the spear. The elbow developed into the battle axe, used to smash and to crush. The knee, too, axed its way through enemy's defenses. Finally, there was the transformation of the flashing foot into pike, arrow, and knife. As each part of the body became a weapon unto itself, a new close-combat fighting skill was born: Muay Thai. Since its initial development, Muay Thai has changed in many ways. It is now a modern sport, rather than a battlefield skill. But in its heart are carried old traditions and an ancient fighting spirit.
Classes are taught three days a week by Ken Perry and Gerry Brown and focus on sport and street Muay Thai fighting. Don't confuse this with "kickboxing", with well over a decade of experience, these guys do traditional Muay Thai with a "Philadelphia Muay Thai" flare.
