Muay Thai is a Thai martial art, also known as the ‘art of eight limbs’. Unlike boxing, where only punches are permitted, in Muay Thai fighters use their fists, elbows, knees and feet. Athletes may strike with their feet and knees, as well as engage in the clinch – a close-range grip from which attacks are launched.
Muay Thai requires not only strength and stamina, but also good coordination, speed and tactical thinking. Today, this sport is popular in many countries around the world, and competitions are held at both national and international levels.
