Nak Muay

Nak Muay, also known as Muay Thai, is a traditional martial art and combat sport from Thailand. It emphasizes powerful strikes using fists, elbows, knees, and shins, combined with clinching techniques for close combat. Known as the "Art of Eight Limbs," it requires both skill and stamina, blending physical discipline with cultural traditions. Practitioners train to develop strength, agility, and mental focus, often performing Wai Kru (ritual dance) to honor their trainers and heritage. Widely practiced globally, Nak Muay is both a competitive sport and a form of self-defense, rooted in a rich history that dates back centuries.
