What is Muay Thai?Muay Thai is considered the most useful of all the striking arts. An amazing full body workout, it is referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively. A master practitioner of Muay Thai thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight "points of contact," as opposed to "two points" (fists) in boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts. Muay Thai is an especially versatile, brutal, straightforward martial art. With the success of Muay Thai in mixed martial arts fighting, it has become the de facto martial art of choice for competitive stand-up fighters. As a result, it has evolved and incorporated much more powerful hand striking techniques used in westen style boxing.
Modern Day Muay Thai
Mixed martial artists such as Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Silva and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua have combined many striking elements of Muay Thai with grappling, submission, and choking elements from Judo, Wrestling, or into a hybrid synthesis that has been highly effective in defeating practitioners of "pure" martial arts. Other fighters that have used Muay Thai as their primary style in mixed martial arts include Duane "Bang" Ludwig, Yves Edwards and Spencer Cooper.
