About
What is Muay Thai? A martial art from Thailand – it’s the country’s national sport. It is similar to other Indochinese styles of kickboxing. For example pradal serey from Cambodia, tomoi from Malaysia, lethwei from Myanmar and Muay Lao from Laos. Muay Thai as it is practiced today is significantly different from its ancestor muay boran because of the use of gloves similar to those worn in Western boxing. The word muay derives from the Sanskrit mavya and Thai comes from the word Tai. Muay Thai is referred to as the “Art 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 Western boxing and “four points” (hands and feet) used in sport-oriented martial arts. A practitioner of Muay Thai is known as a nak muay. Western practitioners are sometimes called nak muay farang meaning foreign boxer. (This definition is compliments of wikipedia.org.)
