    Muay Thai is referred to as “The Art of
    Eight Limbs”; and using eight points of
    contact the body mimics weapons of war.
    The hands become the sword and dagger; the

    shins and forearms were hardened in training to act

    as armor against blows, and the elbow to fell

    opponents like a heavy mace or hammer; the legs

    and knees became the ace and staff.

    The body operated as one unit. The knees and

    elbows constantly searching and testing for an

    opening while grappling and trying to spin an enemy

    to the ground for the kill.

    Religion  is strongly woven into day-to-day

    Thai life and also tightly incorporated into Muay

    Thai culture. The headpiece (mongkorn), armband

    (prajioud), and shorts all have cultural and spiritual

    significance.

    Traditionally, these are blessed to


    provide luck and protection.

    Muay Thai’s Philosophy is simple:

    The body, mind, and heart all need to be


    trained. A good fighter only gets better if all
    three are in sync.
    One aspect cannot work without the

    other this means that physical conditioning

    can only be effective in a fight if the fighter

    has the dedication, concentration and

    discipline.
