Muay Thai, often referred to as "Mixed martial arts", is an all-out athletic combat sport and martial art that make use of several stand up fighting techniques as well as different clinching techniques to immobilize the enemy. This martial art is also known as the "arts of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combination of elbows, shins, fists and knees. The Muay Thai is the most commonly practiced martial art in Thailand. The origin of this martial art มวย โลก can be traced back to the early nineteenth century when two brothers came across the Moghul Buddhist monks in the region of Khotai, Pakistan. These two brothers were traveling on pilgrimage and became impressed by the behavior of the monks, and thus they started practicing with them. From that day, the tradition of this sport was founded.

Muay Thai uses a system of grappling arts (known as Muay Thai Sparring) combined with striking techniques such as spinning punches, knees, elbows and shins. Muay Thai also employs the use of elbows and knees as well as sticks and stones. Muay Thai also uses elbows, shins and knees in order to bring down opponents. This is why Muay Thai is referred as "the art of six limbs".

The origins of Muay Thai are almost as disputed, as is the origin of Muay Thai. According to the majority of historians, Muay Thai actually originated in Pattaya, Thailand, but there are also many westerners who believe that Muay Thai was actually created in China. Still others say that Thailand got the idea from a Kerala tribe who practiced using the short wooden sticks called thongs. Since these sticks could be used to parry and deflect blows, the tribe combined their techniques with kicking and punching, resulting in what is now known as Muay Thai.

Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand, and the martial art has become so much a part of the Thai society that it is often referred to as being Thai Boxing. In fact, most major cities in Thailand have a Muay Thai boxing ring or gym where people can learn the art and practice it either in private or with friends. Muay Thai is such a popular sport that in Bangkok there are designated sections for Muay Thai classes, and there are even shaolin kung fu and western style karate dojos that cater to people interested in learning muaythai. Most modern day Thai boxing matches take place in the ring; however, in the olden days a lot of sparring took place on the ground.

One of the advantages of training in muaythai is that one can train without having to worry about catching a punch or coming into contact with an opponent who is stronger or taller. This leaves a lot of open space for a shorter, lighter fighter to execute techniques such as footwork, headbutts and elbow strikes. A muaythai school can also help a student improve his or her Muay Thai skills by helping develop technique sets and strategies. Techniques such as the clinch hold and the hammerfist strike, for instance, may not be used in a Muay Thai match but can still help a student improve their overall fitness and strength. With a well rounded fitness program, a student will have a chance to strengthen their body and arm and to build stamina while at the same time enjoying the sport.

While there are many benefits of training in muaythai, one of the main reasons for its popularity is the fact that the fighters wear authentic Thai boxing gloves. Although gloves are traditionally made from leather, the muaythai style of boxing makes use of a material that is light and flexible. Although the stylized appearance of the gloves may make some feel like they are wearing a pair of boxing gloves, they are actually very different in design and function. This makes the sport a far cry from the heavy, inflexible gloves worn by American boxers.
