The Martial art of Muay Thai has its own unique techniques. It consists of the use of nine weapons. The head, fists, elbow, knee and feet are collectively known as Na-wa arwud. But today the use of head is no longer allowed in the Muay Thai fights.
In Muay Thai small amount of grappling is used (The Clinch) for both defending and attacking purpose.
Muay Thai techniques are divided into two groups: Mae Mai or Major techniques and Luk mai or Minor techniques.
All techniques in Muay Thai use the entire body movement, rotating the hip partially or fully with every punch, kick and block. This is the reason which sets Muay Thai apart from other forms of martial art.
