What is Muay Thai

The national sport of Thailand, Muay Thai is referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows and knees are all used extensively in this art.  A master practitioner of Muay Thai has the ability to execute strikes using eight points of contact, as opposed to two points (fists) in Western boxing and four points (fists and feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.  Muay Thai is an especially versatile, practical, straightforward yet challenging martial art that many people find addictively fun and challenging.
