The Muay Thai Athlete's Guide (Project MTAG)

Rachel Soderberg

Android Application for Oregon Tech Senior Project 2017-2018

Project MTAG is an Android application created to enhance the under-developed app store niche for Muay Thai athletes and practitioners. The Muay Thai Athlete's Guide provides the user with a comprehensive list of Muay Thai combos and techniques in an easy to read reference format.

The user is met with an extensive list of new options such as creation and saving of user-submitted combos, tutorial videos for instructional lessons, workouts to be done in a typical Muay Thai or general boxing gym, and timers to allow for a seamless workout session.
