The popular sport of Thai Boxing is more commonly known as Muay Thai by locals and offers spectators a fascinating display of martial arts combat at its best. Muay Thai showcases a variety of martial arts combat techniques and can be traced back to over 2,000 years. It is also known as the ‘science of 8 limbs’ since fighters are trained to use almost all parts of the body when facing an opponent. The spinning backfist, double elbow chop, mid-air elbow strike, roundhouse kick, jump kick and curving knee strike are some of the many techniques one can witness at these fights that take place at various arenas across Thailand.
