The art of Muay Thai has gained worldwide popularity for several reasons.

1) Muay Thai is a very realistic ring sport in which most parts of the human body may be used as weapons.
2) It is effective for self defense and hand to hand combat at close, middle and long ranges. 3) It is great way to condition the body and get physically fit.
4) Since Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has become all the rage it has become accepted as the best method of standup fighting for MMA practitioners.
