What is Muay Thai?

Muay Thai, sometimes referred to as "Thai boxing", is a martial art and combat sport that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques.

Muay Thai is known as the "Art Of Eight Limbs" due to its combined use of fists, elbows, knees, and shins.

The history of Muay Thai can be traced the 16th century as a peace-time martial art practiced by the soldiers of King Naresuan.

As well as being a practical fighting technique for use in actual warfare, Muay Thai became a sport in which the opponents fought in front of spectators for entertainment.

These Muay contests gradually became an integral part of local festivals and celebrations, especially those held at temples. Eventually, the previously bare-fisted fighters started wearing lengths of hemp rope around their hands and forearms.

Modern Muay Thai encompasses elements of traditional boxing including the use of padded boxing gloves, 3 to 5 rounds with time limits, and standard weight classes. Similar to western boxing, Muay Thai bouts take place within a ring.
