E.L. Wisty said...: Works well indeed! Now kick-boxing is something that looks like a tough sport. Hm, it's particularly big in Thailand isn't it? I think the Finnish champion of kick-boxing is actually half Thailandish origin...

"is the national sport of Thailand, and is also known as Thai Boxing or Art of the Eight Limbs.

Traditional Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand as a martial art used by the military since ancient times. The military style of Muay Thai is called Lerdrit, while today's "Sport Muay Thai" slightly varies from the original art and uses kicks and punches in a ring and with gloves similar to those used in western boxing. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. " :); 5:41 PM
