Do you know that Greater London is the birthplace of the reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing Champion, Jonathan Haggerty?

Born in Orpington, Jonathan was influenced by his father who was also a kickboxer and mixed martial artist to pick up martial arts during his childhood. After going through several years of training, he became a competitive Muay Thai athlete at the age of 12 and has never looked back since.

Also known as Thai boxing, Muay Thai is a combat martial art and a comprehensive workout for the whole body. Besides acting as an effective self-defence technique, it improves your overall fitness level — strengthening muscles, losing weight and improving stamina.

The Importance of Having Self-Defence Skills 

While it's easy to associate various martial arts with aggressive fight scenes, the essence of martial arts training has always revolved around self-defence for personal safety. It helps to know how to fight to escape from danger or to save someone else from harm, especially for women.

For certain groups of people, having solid self-defence skills is part of their job scope — police officers, security guards, firefighters and so forth.

When you learn various self-defence techniques, it greatly enhances your mental well-being, especially in terms of your self-confidence. You will feel less insecure and have less anxiety when you are out and about, especially if you are alone.

As you master various self-defence moves through martial arts training, it also helps you to have self-discipline, perseverance and resilience as you progress from a beginner to an advanced learner. You'll develop a strong mindset to press on despite the challenges faced.

Why Should You Take One-to-One Muay Thai Training?

Some of you would have probably watched several Muay Thai tutorials out of curiosity and even resorted to self-learning by following what's shown in the videos.

Sometimes, this could lead to a high risk of injury because you did not receive the correct instruction to execute certain movements, especially involving your knees and elbows. This is where an experienced martial arts coach needs to come in. 

Having one-to-one learning sessions also helps you to have a tailored training session based on your learning pace, body weight, and learning goals. You won't feel pressured as you only need to focus on yourself, having fewer distractions. Furthermore, you get to master various boxing techniques that work best for your body weight and fighting style.

Of course, the best part about private Muay Thai lessons is their flexibility in terms of scheduling. You'll get to set your training session with your tutor instead of adapting to the fixed timetable of the lessons at martial arts gyms.
