Muay Thai or Thai boxing, known as the “eight limb art” because it uses fists, elbows, knees, and kicks, is a martial art that originated in Thailand over 800 years ago.
Muay Thai was developed as a form of close combat that uses the whole body as a weapon. It is a century old compulsory training as part of the Thai military. Soldiers trained soldiers in the art of Muay Thai for effective hand-to-hand combat for wars against Burmese, Cambodians and others.
Today, Muay Thai has become increasingly popular with men and women worldwide because of the physicality and discipline it requires.
