Muay Thai

Muay Thai is a highly effective martial art from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. Muay Thai is referred to as the “Art of Eight Limbs” or the “Science Of Eight Limbs” because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight “points of contact”, as opposed to “two points” (fists) in Western boxing and “four points” (hands and feet) used in sport-oriented martial arts.  At Faction Martial Arts we incorporate western style boxing into our Muay Thai Program, as both have their strengths in certain aspects and are more effective when used in conjunction with one another.
