The Academy for Body Efficient Tactical Arts, or BETA Academy, is Washington DC's premier source for martial arts training in Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Established in 2009 by martial arts practitioner, professional fighter, and Professor Nakapan Phungephorn, BETA draws its name and inspiration from the "Siamese Fighting Fish" of Thailand, also known as the BETA Fish. This unique fighting fish is admired for its color and beauty, but also for its fierce fighting ability, invoking the cultural heritage of Thailand closely tied to Muay Thai.
