Muay Thai is a form of martial art originally from Thailand. It originated around the 13th century among the country’s military and has since then evolved as a versatile art form. People worldwide train themselves in this form of self-defense at reputed academic centers.

Muay Thai is often referred to as the ‘Art of eight limbs,’ primarily because it involves eight contact points of the body. These include kicks, punches, knees, and elbows. So, Muay Thai is different from karate, which includes four points — the feet and the fists. It is also different from boxing with two points — the fists.
