What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai is the traditional art of Thai self-defense.
It is a style of unarmed fighting using the feet, knees, elbows,
and fists as defending weapons. It should not be confused
with Western style kickboxing, and true Muay Thai fighters in Thailand
make frequent use of the elbows and knees in competition (in
addition to the feet and fists). There is no martial art
quite like Muay Thai.
Muay Thai students do not earn belts typical of other martial
arts. Instead, Muay Thai practitioners prove their skills
in the ring.
