Muay Thai, sometimes referred to as Thai boxing, is a Thai martial art and full-contact combat sport that uses stand-up striking, sweeps, and various clinching techniques. This discipline is known as the “Art of eight limbs”, as it is characterised by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins.
This literally translates to “cool heart,” but in a deeper sense, this phrase might be similar to staying cool, calm, and collected—maintaining a heart and mindset characterized by patience.
