I. Show us an activity you enjoy doing. Tell us how you think it contributes to your personal
and professional development
A Thai martial art which has been around for 2,000 years
Muay Thai
• Combat fighters use their elbows, knees, fists, and kicks to crush their opponents
• It requires years of disciplined training to be able to get conditioned to the intense workout, the grueling fights, and toughening shins
Muay Thai Values
Muay Thai fighters usually spend a good amount of time toughening their shins against banana trees or sometimes by rolling glass bottles across their shins
Persistence
The Wai Khru Ceremony is one in which due respect is given to masters and teachers
Respect
Sports in general helps to boost confidence and Muay Thai is
no exception
Self Confidence
Children begin training as young as 5 years old
where they sometimes live at the gym where they train
Discipline
Muay Thai fighters have
the humbleness to be
honest to themselves and
work on their weaknesses
Humbleness
How Muay Thai Helped Shape My Personality
Just like shin
conditioning, I learned to
constantly condition my
brain and soul
I learned to own my
weaknesses and harness
opportunities to work on
improving them
I learned to be proactive rather than reactive
I learned
to strike
while the
iron is hot
I learned that self discipline is more regulating than imposed discipline
•I learned to think
ahead of my
opponents
Respecting role models
is key to achieving
success in our lives
