Thai Boxing (Muay Thai)

Muay Thai, also known as "The Art of Eight Limbs," is a traditional martial art from Thailand that combines striking techniques using fists, elbows, knees, and shins. It emphasizes powerful, fluid movements and includes both stand-up combat and clinch techniques. Practiced as a sport, Muay Thai competitions take place in a ring, where fighters wear gloves and follow specific rules. Aside from being an effective form of self-defense, it is also a rigorous full-body workout that promotes fitness, discipline, and respect. Muay Thai has gained global popularity, influencing various forms of mixed martial arts (MMA).
