What is Muay Thai:

The national sport of Thailand, also known as Thaiboxing and the “art of eight limbs”. Designed for close combat using the entire body, it has been used for centuries as a weapon of war. Both
the poor and the elite would train for the sports’ toughening effects and due to the constant threat of war. They believed that good warriors would become brave leaders, and made sure that the Royal family was heavily trained in the sport.
“Eight limbs” refers to the use of the hands mimicking the sword or dagger. The shins and forearms are hardened into shields. The elbow is the hammer or mace and the legs and knees are the axe and staff.

What is Kickboxing:

Kickboxing is often described as a general term for a stand-up striking-based contact sport. Varying by region, it can include punching, kicking, knees and elbows, as seen in Japanese Kickboxing, Dutch K-1 Kickboxing, Savate, Sanda, Muay Thai and many more. There is no single governing body for the rules of Kickboxing, but has evolved from competition between Muay Thai and other sports, creating a more hybridized fighting art.
