Muay Thai
Muay Thai involves boxing techniques, hard kicking, and knee and elbowstrikes. Low kicks to the thighs are a very distinguishing technique used frequently in Muay Thai. Stand up grappling (clinch) is also used. Muay Thai practitioners develop a very high level of physical conditioning.
The training involves rigorous physical training, similar to that practiced by Western boxers. It includes running, shadow-boxing, and heavy bag work. Much emphasis is also placed on various drills with "Thai pads". In use, the trainer wears the pads, and may hold them to receive kicks, punches, and knee and elbow strikes, and may also use them to punch at the trainee. The characteristic Muay Thai round kick is delivered with the shin, therefore, the shins become conditioned by this type of kicking.
