It's a sport, a martial art and undeniably an art form. The combative science of Muay Thai, known throughout the world as Thai boxing, is also the national sport of Thailand.
The roots of Muay Thai reach back thousands of years, perhaps with origins now known as China, however, Muay Thai remains entwined in the history of Thailand. The Royal Thai Army has always trained its soldiers using Muay Thai techniques to protect Thailand’s borders from invaders. With it’s cultural contradiction of a marriage based in grace and savagery it brings forth an art form filled with ritual that is today, been proven to be extremely effective for self-defense purposes, and is taught to men, women and children in over 80 countries around the world. Its devastating effectiveness has gained the respect of martial artists worldwide!
Today Muay Thai is seen in the Ultimate Fighting Championships being widely used in the fastest growing sport of mixed martial arts! It is considered most effective in hand to hand combat and utilizes all the body’s natural weapons, ultimately known as the Art of Eight Limbs; hands for powerful punches, legs for furious kicks, piercing knee strikes to crushing elbows and skillful grappling, Muay Thai has it all!
Women's Muay Thai in Thailand was not allowed for many years due too superstition. Woman were not allowed to train in the sport with men, step in a ring, or use boxing equipment. Today, due to foreign interest in the art, it is becoming more accepted, where schools will have a ring specially built for women allowing them to train equally alongside men.
Thankfully times have changed, and Women are now allowed to compete at local venues as well as the famous Lumpinee Stadium for Championship belts!

GETTING HIT
That's RIGHT!
This is no ordinary workout!
You will kick, punch, laugh, sweat, tone, condition, strengthen,
endure, challenge yourself, lose your breath
and
love every minute of it!
Here are what people just like you are saying about this program:
"I feel about ten years younger since I started training with Shelley.”A friend convinced me to come to one
of Shelley's Muay Thai cardio circuit
classes, and honestly, I wasn't sure it
was going to be a good fit for me--I'm 48
and thought, "Well, I'm probably more
Tai Chi than Muay Thai." Wrong!!!! I am
having a blast and am totally hooked!
These workouts engage both body and
mind and are fun, fun, fun! Every session is different and you really get a well rounded
workout and a chance to develop skills that decline as we age, like coordination,
power, flexibility, agility, and speed. I feel about ten years younger since I started
training with Shelley. Thanks, Shelley! Krista Behymer, 48 years old, Accountant

“The session was a great addition to my routine and gave me the boost that I was looking for.”
"I was in a fitness transition and looking for a boost so my
friend and I signed up with Shelley Devine for a weekly month long personal
training session. The session was a great addition to my routine and gave me
the boost that I was looking for. By the end of the month my cardiovascular
system was in much better shape and I could do more intense work-outs. Working
with Shelley improved my Muay Thai form which made training more fun.
Shelley is easy to work with and I feel completely comfortable around her which
is important to me. I look forward to my work schedule calming down so I can
sign back up with her. I miss the sessions! " Dawn Quirk, 34 years old

"The atmosphere is
fantastic! It is group training but you receive a lot of individual attention
from Shelley”
"I like it because I wanted to learn some self-defense but we are learning it in a fun way while also getting a fantastic workout at the same time. Sometimes people think you have to go to a "gym" to get great results but I am feeling much more fit and stronger now than I have after years of going to the gym. The cardio workout is great and it is easy to notice how my stamina has increased by taking the class for a few months. I definitely feel sore but a good sore usually the day after class so you know that what you are doing is working. The atmosphere is fantastic! It is group training but you receive a lot of individual attention from Shelley, who helps you work on different areas to improve upon." Jennifer Malone, 38 years old, Office Manager & Accounting Assistant for a Private Equity Firm

“I am also learning some valuable self-defense skills and gaining physical confidence. This is important to me, since in my work I am sometimes alone in scary situations”
“I am just your average middle-aged mom and wife who was trying to lose weight and get in shape to keep up with the kids when I started Muay Thai Circuit Training with Shelley. Before that, I had never done any type of martial arts or fighting sports in my life, ever. But I quickly found that the drills were challenging and fun – a change from the regular gym routine. Learning and practicing the different aspects of Muay Thai is giving me goals to work towards, so that any other cardio or weight training I might do has more focus and meaning. I am also learning some valuable self-defense skills and gaining physical confidence. This is important to me, since in my work I am sometimes alone in scary situations, and feel better knowing a few things that can give me a better chance of getting away from an attacker." Julie Catalano, 46, Social Worker

"I never expected that I would like it this much. I am not a boot camp kind of person”
“I had wanted to get started in some kind of martial arts for a long time, and the location and time (Roslindale Yoga, 6AM) turned out to be perfect. But I never expected that I would like it this much. I am not a boot camp kind of person, but there is so much variety, that by the time I realize that I’m about to run out of gas, we’re on to the next exciting drill. What I appreciate most is the inner and outer strength I’ve gained, and how much muscle tone I have after only a few months. Plus, it’s so much fun, I don’t even mind getting up for 6AM class.” Jennifer Roberts Keddy, 33 years old, 3rd Grade Teacher
