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.

Muay Thai in the News.
This story from the Associated Press ran today:

"Buddhist monks wage war on drugs"

Quote:
GOLDEN HORSE MONASTERY, Thailand -- He was a soldier and champion boxer, but now the burly abbot leads a band of "Little Buddhas," some as young as 7, who practice martial arts and meditation, then ride into the mountains to fight the scourge of drugs.
...
Thai-style boxing is practiced every evening, and Kru Ba, tucking his robes between his legs to reveal a powerful, densely tattooed torso, happily demonstrates techniques.
Using knees, elbows, feet and fists, the monk shows how he could disable his young sparring partner if he applied real force.
