Muay Thai, or "Thai Boxing," is Thailand's national martial art and a dynamic full-contact combat sport. Famous as the "Art of Eight Limbs," it utilizes punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes. Beyond the ring, it provides exceptional cardiovascular conditioning, self-defense skills, and physical discipline

If a martial art strives to be relevant and beneficial it offers its students self-defense, physical education, and recreation. The core of a modern martial art offers a training program suitable to a wide population (ideally both male and female students between the ages of 14 and 50) which will improve and maintain health, teach body awareness, and serve technically as the foundation for specialized training (e.g., combative, law enforcement or elite sport competition).

The core training should consist of the basic movements including effective methods for self-defense. In addition, as a form of recreation the core training program must also have a wide variety of techniques to keep interest. Modifications for children (under 13) and for executives (over 50) will be necessary but these programs should still conform to the same principles as the core program.

Finally, modern martial arts training should include the development of ethics, self-discipline, and confidence. The instructor and training environment should strive to achieve these results.
