A rare chance to learn the background of what was once considered a higher art, Muay Thai (Thai Boxing), used to be part of a royal curriculum intended to develop brave warriors, now it is world-famous as the ultimate kickboxing sport. The combat style of kickboxing dates back to the 12th century, fighters are taught that the body is the eventual weapon in close combat.
Muay Thai is a martial art with its origin set deep in the history of Thailand. It is referred to as the ‘Art of the Eight Limbs’ or the ‘Science of Eight Limbs,’ making use of different punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes on ‘eight points of contact,’ as opposed to ‘two points’ in boxing and ‘four points’ in other martial arts such as kickboxing. A practitioner of the Muay Thai is called a nuk muay, with Western practitioners sometimes called Nak Muay Farang, which means ‘foreign boxer.’
