What is Muaythai?

Muay Thai is known as, “the art of eight limbs.” This refers to the eight points of contact used including the fists, elbows, knees, and shins.

Muay Thai is a combat sport and as such, is considered a martial art. However, modern Muay Thai looks much more like kickboxing than like martial arts such as taekwondo or jiu jitsu.
