About Muaythai
Muaythai (or Muay Thai), known as the elite striking martial art,
combines the use of the all eight striking weapons of the body: elbow,
knee, punch and kick. Muaythai was developed as a martial art by the
army of Thailand to help repel outside intervention from European
expansion into Southeast Asia. Thailand was the only country to defend
itself successfully and to deny this expansion. Muaythai fighting is
credited with being a major factor in helping keep Thailand independent.
Muaythai is the national sport of Thailand and is now part of the Asian
Olympic Games and is competed in over 112 countries throughout the
world.
