History
Muay Thai is a combat sport from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. Descended from Muay Boran, Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport.
Muay Thai is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science of Eight Limbs" because it makes use of
punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight points of contact, as opposed to two points (fists) in boxing or four pionts(hands and feet) such as used in other more regulated martial arts sports, such as kickboxing and savate. A practitioner of Muay Thai is known as a nak muay. Western practitioners are sometimes called nak muay farang, meaning "foreign boxer".
