Muay Thai: The Art of Eight Limbs
Muay Thai is a brutal striking form imported from the country of Thailand. It is the national sport of the country and Muay Thai fighters, known as Nak Muays, often begin their fighting careers during childhood and retire in their early 20s.
Muay Thai is known as the Art of Eight Limbs because it allows for the use of all eight limbs of the body to strike an opponent: the fists, elbows, knees, and shins.
Muay Thai involves the use of clinching techniques that enable practitioners to control their opponents while delivering powerful strikes.
The training also offers various physical and mental benefits, including improved fitness, strength, power, flexibility, coordination, and self-confidence.
It can help reduce stress levels and enhance mental focus while developing self-defense skills.
The History of Muay Thai
The history of Muay Thai can be traced back to the 13th century, when it was used as a form of military training. Over time, Muay Thai evolved into a sport and became popular throughout Thailand. Today, Muay Thai is practiced by people of all ages and skill levels, and it is one of the most popular martial arts in the world.
