Muay Thai is one of the most destructive forms of striking in combat sports and self-defense. Muay Thai utilizes hands, shins, knees, and elbows for striking which is why Muay Thai is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs".

Many recognize Muay Thai for its devastating kicks but Muay Thai is also known for superior clinch work, which helps to set up devastating knees and elbows. Many competitors in MMA use Muay Thai as their primary striking art in the cage.
