Muay Thai

Muay Thai is considered the most useful of all the striking arts. An amazing full body and cardiovascular workout, it is referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively. As such in addition to a very effective weight loss activity, it is also considered a highly devastating method of self-defense. 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 western style boxing. Worldwide, Muay Thai has been very effective in mixed martial arts fights. Mixed martial artists such as Anderson Silva 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.
