Muay Thai is a combat sport from Thailand known as the science of 8 limbs. Muay Thai features punches, kicks, elbows, knees, standing grappling, and head-butts to wear down and knock out their opponent.
Thai training methods develop devastating power, speed and superb cardiovascular endurance as well as fighting spirit.
Muay Thai training is also quite safe thanks to sophisticated pad training that evolved to keep fighters healthy between fights.
Muay Thai has also proven very effective outside the ring and has been embraced enthusiastically by practitioners of a variety of self-defense, sporting, military and law enforcement activities.

What is exactly MMA? Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, including boxing, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, muay Thai, kickboxing, karate, judo and other styles.
The roots of modern mixed martial arts can be traced back to the ancient Olympic combat sport of Pankration. Various mixed style contests also took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s.
The combat sport of Vale Tudo that had developed in Brazil from the 1920s was brought to the United States by the Gracie family in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which is currently the largest MMA promotion company worldwide. Prior to the UFC, professional MMA events had also been held in Japan by Shooto since 1989.
