Muay Thai Kick Boxing
Muay Thai is widely considered the most effective form of striking in the world. Often called the “Art of Eight Limbs,” it utilizes punches, kicks, knees, and elbows to create a versatile and powerful system.
This class is built for everyone—from the complete beginner to the experienced athlete. We’ll focus on a progressive curriculum that builds your skills from the ground up:
- Foundation: We’ll begin with the essentials of stance, movement, and core striking mechanics.
- Development: As the weeks progress, we’ll move into partner drills that build coordination and timing.
- Application: We’ll conclude the term by applying those skills to dynamic situations, ensuring you leave with a practical and functional understanding of the utility of the art.
Whether you are looking to learn a new skill, improve your fitness, compete, or build confidence in self-defense, this class provides a supportive and structured environment to help you reach your goals.
Instructor Bio: Demian Hommel
I am a Professor of Geography at Oregon State University, and I intend to bring an educator’s mindset to my classes at Precision Martial Arts. While living in Thailand for four years to complete my graduate and doctoral research, I trained at a wide range of camps across the country, analyzing the diverse methods and the strengths of different systems. I’ve spent decades distilling those international experiences into a clear, teachable method designed to help you build applicable skills and confidence.
My teaching philosophy is pragmatic and evidence-based: I believe that with structured support and consistent effort, anyone can become a proficient striker. My goal is to break down the technical nuances of Muay Thai to make them accessible, effective, and rewarding.
