Nak Muay Thai (fighting style)

Nak Muay Thai, also known as Muay Thai, is a traditional Thai martial art focused on striking using punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes. It emphasizes powerful, efficient techniques, clinching, and agility, often incorporating mental discipline and physical conditioning. Known as "the art of eight limbs," it maximizes the use of eight contact points—fists, elbows, knees, and shins—for effective offense and defense. The style blends offensive attacks with defensive tactics, emphasizing fluid movement, timing, and control. Nak Muay Thai is both a competitive sport and a cultural tradition rooted in Thailand’s history of self-defense and martial artistry.
