OUR MISSION
"Living Muay Thai was designed to answer one question..."
What happens when no martial educator has to work alone?
LMT is a network of gyms, students, teachers, and professionals that shares an adaptive curriculum, a training community, and the common goal of rising together. Our programming, built by Muay Thai educators for Muay Thai educators, is the living product of thousands of training hours and science-backed research. The students and educators who love Muay Thai deserve tools and support that match the impact they want to make. LMT doesn’t replace your experience; LMT allows your expertise to strike harder.

From the Mat
"STRUCTURE: What is it? How do I improve mine? How do I manipulate my partner's? How do I break my opponent's structure?
In 30++ years of doing Muay Thai; the training, the teaching, the sparing, the seminars, no one ever mentioned Structure and why it was so important, so vital, that I learn it. Living Muay Thai (LMT) changed all that for me in one day. It blew my mind, it changed my game, my training, everything. I cannot recommend LMT enough.
