Our Alex is currently in Thailand at a Muay Thai Kickboxing Academy. He use to enjoy Tai Quan Do for many years and achieved a black belt however, he decided to move into kickboxing years later. I have been amazed at his interest in healthy eatting and fitness since changing to mauy thai, this will be good for all the family when it comes to meal preparation too. Alex has had to "unlearn" some of his Tai Quan Do techniques in order to learn new Mauy Thai practices because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight "points of contact" hence, Muay Thai is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science of Eight Limbs" as opposed to "two points" (fists) in boxing and "four points" (hands and feet) used in other sports, such as kickboxing, boxing, and Tai Quan Do.

Good Luck in Thailand Alex, we are very proud of all of your achievements. Love Mum and Dad xxx
