Muay Thai Kickboxing
Muay Thai KickboxingMuay Thai is referred to as the “Art of Eight Limbs” because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight “points of contact”, as opposed to “two points” (fists) in Western boxing and “four points” (hands and feet) used in sport-oriented martial arts.
When Muay Thai practitioners compete against fighters of other styles (and if the rules permit it), they almost invariably emphasize elbow and knee techniques to gain a distinct advantage in fighting. Almost all techniques in Muay Thai use the entire body movement, rotating the hip with each kick, punch, elbow and block. The rotation of the hips in Muay Thai techniques, and intensive focus on “core muscles” (such as abdominal muscles and surrounding muscles) is very distinctive and is what sets Muay Thai apart from other martial arts.
Many of today’s MMA competitors incorporate both Muay Thai & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into their game.
