Originating from Thailand and also known as “The Science of 8 Limbs”, Muay Thai is a style that uses all aspects of the body. You strike with the arms and legs for long-range, while using knees and elbows for short-range strikes. Muay Thai fighters are known to use powerful and quick strikes to injure and/or disorient their opponent, and then the clinch is used to land knees and elbows to cause a knock-out. Some common moves in Muay Thai are, checking (using your shin to block a kick), teep kick (using your foot to push kick an opponent aiming at the body or head), clinch (grabbing the opponent’s head also known as inside fighting is used to hold the opponent to land devastating strikes from the knees and elbows), and thai kick’s (delivering a powerful kick using your shin). Muay Thai is intertwined with the culture from the people of Thailand; many fighters are still follow exact traditions of Muay Thai such as the Thai Dance and Thai music playing during the fight. Traditional states play music faster so fighters fight faster.
