Muay Thai or Thai Boxing originates from Southeast Asia where it is known in Thai as 'Muay Thai' literally translated as 'Thai Boxing', Cambodia as 'Pradal Sarey', in Myanmar as 'Lethwei', in Vietnam as 'Vo Tu Do' and in Malaysia as 'Tomoi'. This ancient fighting style is also known traditionally as 'The Science of Eight Limbs' as a trained Thai Boxer has the ability to execute strikes using 8 points of contact rather than the 2 points of contact (fists) in traditional English boxing. In modern times Muay Thai has become a popular competition sport.
