Muay Thai Training
AT YAMASAKI ACADEMY WOODBRIDGE
Muay Thai, translated as “Thai Boxing,” is a kickboxing style from Thailand. Fighters can use punches, kicks, knees and elbows as well as throws and trips to win against an opponent.
The Yamasaki Academy Woodbridge is one the first gyms to be affiliated with Kru Chris Clodfelter, owner and head coach of Eight Points Muay Thai in Winston Salem, NC. Kru Chris has produced multiple national champions and world title holders for many of the premiere combat sports amatuer organizations and professional promotions around the world.
The Muay Thai program at here at Yamasaki Academy Woodbridge is authentic Muay Thai, not kickboxing or boxing masked as something else. Our highly experienced coaches and have produced some of the most successful fighters in the area. While not everyone training Muay Thai will be a fighter, we are still training with fighters and like fighters.

TRAIN WITH PURPOSE
BENEFITS OF TRAINING
SELF-DEFENSE
Muay Thai is, by most people’s standards, the most complete and effective striking style a person can learn for self-defense.
PERSEVERANCE
Muay Thai training is difficult and takes time to master. Learning to put the time in to achieve success is a valuable tool in life.
HEALTH & FITNESS
Want to be “in shape”? We want to get you into “fight shape.” That’s a totally different level.
DISCIPLINE
Muay Thai will train you to move quickly and smoothly, with balance. While we will be throwing punches and kicks as hard as we can, it’s important in Muay Thai to do so with balance and efficiency in order to score in the eyes of a judge.
FOCUS
Pay attention to the details. Muay Thai can’t be learned if you aren’t paying attention to what you are being taught.
