“Muay Thai” sounds like a funky noodle dish served at Spoon. I love noodles. However, as I found out last Wednesday, it’s actually an intense form of martial arts that combines boxing with kicks to fight your opponent. A quick search on Wikipedia also told me that it’s actually Thailand’s national sport and is referred to as “the art of eight limbs,” because Thai boxers execute strikes using eight points of contact (fists, elbows, shins, knees), as opposed to the two (fists) in American boxing.
It’s also really fun to say (sounds like moy tie).
