Eddie Myers
Muay Thai and Judo Instructor Muay Thai is the "art of eight limbs." Muay Thai fighters strike with their elbows and knees in addition to punching and kicking techniques. Balance and flow are developed along with core strength and cardio conditioning. Judo means "the gentle way." This Olympic sport focuses on using leverage and misdirection. Practitioners use an opponent's strength to their own advantage and overcome by skill rather than strength. While learning self-defense skills, students gain physical strength, balance, focus and body awareness inside class. Eddie is a lifelong martial arts practitioner and former pit fighter. He began studying Judo at age 7 and Muay Thai at age 20. He earned a silver medal in Judo at the U.S. Junior Olympics at age 10. Eddie says the best part of teaching Muay Thai and Judo is watching the confidence grow in those he teaches. He loves watching their faces light up when they accomplish something they didn't think they were able to do. Outside of class Eddies says these disciplines help students walk with confidence knowing they are prepared to be leaders in school, handle stress calmly at work, or defend themselves if necessary. Adolescents also develop a positive self worth along with respect for parents and elders. If you’re looking to acquire a martial arts discipline, hone in on your fighting skills, or just enhance your gym workouts, Eddie is the perfect instructor to help you achieve it! Group and private lessons offered. Contact 717-327-3500 |
