This discipline is known as the "Art of Eight Limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins. This stunning sports was created in the XVIII century and became widespread internationally in the XX century. The professional league is governed by The Professional Boxing Association of Thailand (P.A.T) sanctioned by The Sports Authority of Thailand (S.A.T.), and World Professional Muaythai Federation (WMF) overseas.
Though Thailand could be very diverse and surprising in terms of sports: e.g. Thailand is called the golf capital of Asia.
