Muay Thai — or Thai Boxing—was born on the battlefields of the 15th century, during the legendary clashes between Thai (or Siamese) armies and their bitter rivals, the Burmese. Trained in the weapons-based fighting method known as Krabi Krabong, these early Thai soldiers also became famous for their toughness in close-quarters weaponless combat, where legs, knees, elbows and hands took the place of swords and sticks. The word muay derives from the Sanskrit mavya and Thai comes from the word Tai. 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. A practitioner of Muay Thai is known as a nak muay. Western practitioners are sometimes called nak muay farang meaning foreign boxer.
A Muay Thai fight is a blur of punches, kicks and head butts, often culminating in a knockout. This is why many military and law enforcement groups prefer Muay Thai for neutralizing situations without using weapons.
Arts
The arts are a vast subdivision of culture, composed of many creative endeavors and disciplines. It is a broader term than "art", which as a description of a field.

Academy Of Combined Martial Arts (ACMA)
Academy of Combined Martial Arts (ACMA), formerly known as Academy of Taekwondo, was founded in 1979 by Mr. Shaikh Mohammed Sardar. During these over three decades, ACMA has produced numerous black belts, state and national champions. Many of the training seminars were organized by ACMA in which foreign coaches were invited to teach the local martial artists. This helped them a lot in improving their standard to the international levels.
In past at various occasions, ACMA invited Grandmaster Sung Soo Lee who is considered as one of the best Taekwondo / Hapkido teachers in the world. His presence acted as boost to all the students in India as the masters of his calibre are very few in the world.
Presently ACMA is engaged in teaching various martial arts like, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Spochan.
