Some Information about Muay Thai

Muay Thai , also called Thai-Boxing, is a martial art and national sport of Thailand. Traditional Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand as a martial art used by the military. The military style of muay Thai is called Lerdrit, while today's "sport Muay Thai" slightly varies from the original art and uses kicks and punches in a ring and with gloves similar to those used in boxing. Muay Thai is also known as 'The Science of Eight Limbs' as the hands, feet, elbows and knees are all used extensively in this art.

All parts of the body are used: hands, elbows, kicks and knees for offensives attacks; arms, legs and shoulders to defend.

During a competition, the fighters perform a ritual before starting the fight, it is called Ram Muay. This ritual is both for religious reasons and as a stretching warmup before beginning the fight.

Muay Thai became very popular over the past years.
