(Advanced Striking)
Muay Thai is a combat sport originating in Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This physical and mental discipline is known as "the art of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins, making it a formidable martial art. Like most competitive full contact fighting sports, Muay Thai has a heavy focus on body conditioning designed to promote the level of fitness and toughness required for ring competition.
