It's not "stand-up," it's Muay Thai

I'd like to take a minute to discuss one of the big irritations in my life. I spend a great deal of my time in the gym, and I think it's about time that people from other areas of study give Muay Thai its due respect.

It's not "stand-up." "Stand-up" is a part of mixed martial arts, not Muay Thai. When you come to Muay Thai class, that's what you're practicing- Muay Thai. It's not "stand-up class." It's not Mooey Thai, May Thai or Mai Tai. Not Tae Bo, either.

There. I said it. I'm not sorry.

And just so you know, a Mai Tai comes with a little umbrella and cherries.
