Muay Thai is a hard martial art from
Thailand. It is similar to other
Indochinese styles of kickboxing,
namely pradal serey from
Cambodia, tomoi from Malaysia,
lethwei from Myanmar and Muay
Lao from Laos. The art has a long
history in Thailand and is the
country's national sport. Muay Thai
as it is practiced today varies
significantly from its ancestor muay
boran, such as in its use of gloves
similar to those worn in Western boxing.
