Muay Thai is a combat sport and martial art that originated in Thailand in the 13th century. It is also known as "Thai Boxing" and is the national sport of Thailand. Muay Thai is a stand-up striking sport that uses eight different parts of the body, including fists, elbows, knees, and shins. It is often referred to as "the art of eight limbs". While Muay Thai matches in the past were often brutal fights, modern Muay Thai is governed by a referee who keeps track of points, and opponents wear protective gear to minimize harm.
