MUAY THAI:
Muay Thai is often a fighting art of attrition, where opponents exchange blows with one another.
Muay Thai is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science Of Eight Limbs" because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight "points of contact", as opposed
to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing and
"four points" (hands and feet) used in sport-oriented martial arts.
Almost all techniques in Muay Thai use the entire body movement, rotating the hip with each kick, punch, elbow and block.
Defenses in Muay Thai are categorized in 6 groups:
