Muay Thai in Thailand
Muay Thai, otherwise known as Thai Boxing, is Thailand’s national sport. It is widely regarded as the most popular martial arts disciplines in South East Asia, and is renowned worldwide for its high intensity and fierce nature. This mentally and physically demanding discipline is known as ‘the art of eight limbs’ which refers to the combined use of the 8 points of contact on the body: hands, feet, elbows and knees.
Muay Thai gained international recognition throughout the 20th century, and is now one of the world’s most popular martial arts disciplines with many fighters descending on Thailand each year to pursue their passion.
