Muay Thai (pronounced moo-ee tie) literally Thai Boxing and also known as The Art of the Eight Limbs
is the Thai name for a form of martial art practiced in several
South-east Asian countries including Thailand It is known as Pradal
Serey in Cambodia, Tomoi in Malaysia, Muay Lao in Laos and as a similar
style called Lethwei in Myanmar (Burma).
Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand and is the country's
national sport Traditional Muay Thai practiced today varies slightly
from the ancient art Muay Boran
and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used
in Western boxing.
Muay Thai is referred to as "The Science of Eight
Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows and knees are all used extensively
in this art. 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
Western boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily
sport-oriented forms of martial arts.
Muay Thai is considered the best striking art in the world for Knees, Elbows and devastating kicks.
It is great for physical conditioning as well as getting rid of some of that pent up agression.
For a great way of getting in shape without getting bored this is definitely the answer.
