Century Martial Art
What is (or are) the primary martial arts styles that come from or are practiced in Thailand.?
If you happened to catch the Miss Universe Pageant broadcast on worldwide television last night live from Viet Nam, you may have seen that the Winner of the National Costume competition came from Thailand. The contestant –Gavintra Photijak — struck a menacing martial arts pose for her publicity stills, as well as when she first posed for the broadcast cameras in the opening parade of contestants. She was definately very eye-catching and different. See her picture here:

The history behind the development and spread of various martial arts styles and forms across the Orient and indeed, the world, is rich and varied. Tae Kwon Do comes from Korea (correct me if I am wrong). My style of Karate (Shotokan) comes from Japan.
But what is the style of martial arts that comes from Thailand, and was it first developed in a neighboring country? Or was it totally the brain child of some Thai Master from centuries past?
Frank and A L got the right idea, just kinda wanted to correct something. muay thai doesn’t translate into “the science of eight limbs”. its actually just a nickname because of the use of the arms, legs, elbows, and knees. correct me if im wrong, but i believe it translates directly as “thai boxing”.
