What Is Thai Kickboxing?
Thai kickboxing, which is known as Muay Thai in the Thai language, is a martial art form that evolved in ancient Thailand. Influenced by other Asian martial arts, it was meant to give soldiers an advantage in unarmed combat, especially if they happened to lose their weapons on the battlefield. The modern form of Muay Thai kickboxing has been strongly influenced by western boxing, and has in turn influenced many types of kickboxing sports.
