Muay Thai, also known as Thai boxing, is a combat sport that originated in Thailand. It is a martial art that combines striking techniques with the use of knees, elbows, shins, and fists. Muay Thai is often referred to as “the art of eight limbs” because of the eight points of contact that are used in the sport.

In Muay Thai, fighters use a variety of techniques, including punches, kicks, knee strikes, elbow strikes, and clinching. The sport emphasizes powerful, high-intensity strikes and is known for its ability to deliver devastating blows.

Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand and is considered a national sport. It is also a popular combat sport around the world and is practiced by both professional fighters and recreational athletes. In addition to being a competitive sport, Muay Thai is also used as a form of self-defense and for fitness and conditioning.
