Art of Eight Limbs

The Art of Eight Limbs, also known as Muay Thai, is a traditional Thai martial art emphasizing striking techniques using eight points of contact: fists, elbows, knees, and shins. It combines offensive and defensive moves through powerful punches, kicks, knee strikes, and elbow blows. Practitioners develop strength, agility, and coordination while focusing on timing and technique. Originating from Thailand, it’s both a sport and a cultural practice, often performed with rhythmic movement and mental discipline. The name highlights the use of these eight limbs as effective tools for self-defense, combat, and physical conditioning.
