Swish Club Thai Boxing & Fitness

Muay Thai - Thai Boxing

With techniques including kicks, punches and the extensive use of knees and elbows, Muay Thai is often referred to as the science of 8 limbs. It is an effective and brutal martial art originally from Thailand. Muay Thai distinguishes itself from western kickboxing and other standup martial arts by 3 things: the clinch, the Thai boxing low kick and the Thai boxing roundhouse.

Generally, Muay Thai training improves your overall physique, reflexes and boosts your confidence level.

泰拳，這種激烈的博擊運動，曾被視為只適宜在擂台上進行，但發展至今，泰拳已演變成為時尚流行的健康運動，學習泰拳的目的，亦漸漸由單純的競賽轉為減肥健身，由男性主導變為廣受女性歡迎。

泰拳最吸引的地方，是除了能達瘦身效果之外，亦能透過訓練，增強個人毅力及鬥志，訓練著重腦袋與身體的配合，能提升反應及集中力，令學員無論在拳館內外，都能擁有更清晰的頭腦，更果斷的決定。

不少人在接觸泰拳後，都會立刻愛上這種運動，因為泰拳遠較在健身室內沉悶的運動多變化，拳、腳、肘膝並用及互動性高，是跑步及健身單車等，這類不停重覆相同動作的運動不可相比，而拳擊運動會更有效消除工作及生活壓力。泰拳的基本動作不難掌握，學員很快便可發掘到自己的潛能，亦能感受到泰拳的無比樂趣，透過教練的指導及引靶練習，學員不難發現，每次訓練之後，拳擊技術都會有所提升，亦會很發現到身體出現變化。因為泰拳屬全身運動，腰、腹、手臂及大腿肌肉能很快體現出效果。泰拳揉合帶氧及無氧運動的好處，加上出拳時講求肌肉的爆炸力，在塑造出優美線條之餘，亦可增強肌肉的彈性，故廣受女性歡迎。

一般而言，緩步跑每小時只能消耗400至500卡路里，但一小時的泰拳至少可以消耗800卡路里，故非常適合工作繁忙的香港人，在短時間內達到減肥瘦身的目標。

創辦人區秉彪︰「創立Swish Club的原因，是希望將泰拳推廣給更多人認識，亦冀普羅大眾知道，泰拳不只是單單為了比賽才可學習，其實無論年青人、白領或是專業人士，都適合學習這種健康的運動。」
