Muay Thai Kickboxing
Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing or Thai Kickboxing, has a long history in the Thailand area as a martial art used by the military. The military style of Muay Thai is called Lerdrit, while today's sport Muay Thai varies slightly and is performed one-on-one in a ring with either wrapped hands or gloves similar to those used in Western boxing.Muay Thai is also known as the science of eight limbs as the hands, feet, elbows and knees are all used extensively. To set up an opponent for both offensive and defensive purposes, small amounts of stand-up grappling called the clinch are employed. Defensively, Muay Thai uses the concept of wall of defense in which shoulders, arms and legs are used to hinder the attacker. Almost all techniques in Muay Thai use the entire body movement, rotating the hip with each kick, punch and block. The result is the ability to generate maximum power in comparison with most Asian martial arts styles. Muay Thai is great for conditioning, sport competition and self-defense. It has also been rigorously tested and proven to be the king of striking arts for Mixed Martial Arts competition. Sign Me Up
