Muay Thai Muay Thai is commonly referred to as the "science of eight limbs," and is Thailand's national sport. Muay Thai is derived from the hand-to-hand aspect of the ancient Siamese art known as, "Krabi Krabong;" and was once performed for the entertainment of the King of Siam. Muay Thai is known for its distinct rituals, incredible conditioning, devastating round (Thai) kicks and the merciless use of knees and elbows.

I think your JKD instructor has it right. I always hear it like moo-ee tie, but sometimes someone who knows more than me (and who doesn't) will change it too moo-eh tie, more like it's spelled. My memory isn't very good these days, but I'm pretty sure that the former is how Ajarn Chai Sirisute pronounced it last year when he came to town for a seminar.

Interesting.
I try to say it quickly so I can gloss of the pronunciation. But seriously, now I would like to know how it is pronounced. I think if I had to think about it, I pronounce it Moo-eh Tie. Ah, well, I hope we can get a consensus on this!

Ajarn Chai will be here this weekend. Now that you reminded me, I will be listening attentively to his pronunciation all weekend.

Will do. Also, at the seminar, 3 of my instructors will be testing for their instructorship under Ajarn Chai. Like we've mentioned a couple times, it's great fun to watch. Maybe this year I'll be able to get some video.
