Best Muay Thai New York Has to Offer

Muay Thai is an ancient Thai martial art dating back to an age where Thai warriors used the combat form to defend their country from Burmese invaders. Burmese invaders! Undertaking this martial art, you’ll enter the ring as a master of the “Art of Eight Limbs.” It’s like fighting a giant octopus! Using kicks, punches, elbows, and knee strikes, you’ll learn how to conquer the Burmese warriors for King Rama V or, in this case, any criminal.

While New York offers an endless supply of venues to practice this martial art, some happen to rank higher than others. Here are the best Muay Thai spots in the city:
