Muay Thai: The Science of Eight Limbs

Muay Thai, often referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs," is a combat sport from Thailand that utilizes punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes—making use of eight striking points on the body. It combines these techniques with clinch fighting, where opponents grapple for control. Known for its rigorous training and focus on physical conditioning, Muay Thai emphasizes both striking power and tactical strategy. It’s not only a sport but also a cultural practice, showcasing traditional music and ceremonies, while promoting discipline, respect, and self-defense skills.
