| Subject: What is Muay Thai Kickboxing? Wed Aug 17, 2016 11:42 pm | |
| Often referred to as Thai kickboxing or simply Muay Thai, Muay Thai kickboxing is a form of martial arts that originated in Thailand. In fact, the country widely celebrates the sport as a national pastime. This is the very aspect that separates the sport from other forms of martial arts, such as boxing, karate, kung fu, and even kickboxing. Each of the aforementioned styles primarily rely on two points of contact — usually the fists, or both the fists and feet. Although Muay Thai shares the most similarities with traditional kickboxing, it distinguishes itself entirely with vertical grapples that fighters can use for their strikes. Stand-up grappling is one of the most unique aspects of Muay Thai kickboxing, particularly a move known as the clinch. A clinch is a technique wherein a fighter is facing his opponent, and uses his hands and elbows to strike the challenger in the chest or collarbone. This particular technique is used to keep the opponent at bay, so the aggressor can land strikes with more accuracy and efficiency.
