Muay Thai (Thai Kick Boxing)
|
Thai boxing, or muai-Thai as the Thai people call it,
is a traditional art of self defence of the Thais. It is
different from
international boxing in that in the Thai style of unarmed
fighting, feet, elbows and knees are used as well as
fists. Thus, it resembles more to a real free- for-all
fight and is therefore consideed superior to internation
boxing as an art of self defence. As it is more exacting,
a Thai boxing match lasts only five rounds of three
minutes each, with a two-minute rest between rounds. |
