Muay Thai, known as the 'art of eight limbs,' is a striking martial art and combat sport from Thailand that uses fists, elbows, knees, and shins, making it more versatile in striking range than boxing or kickboxing. Practitioners train in punching combinations, clinch work, and powerful kicks, competing in gyms and rings worldwide as well as in mixed martial arts (MMA) as a foundational striking discipline. People pursue it for competitive fighting, fitness conditioning, and self-defense, drawn to its intensity and cultural roots in Thai tradition.
