This martial art is used by the Royal Thai Army as its method of unarmed combat. As a martial art it is descended from the ancient Thai arts known collectively as Muay Boran (literally meaning 'ancient boxing') from which the more famous Muay Thai also emerged. The name means 'extreme power' and it is characterized by the use of palm strikes, kicks, knees and elbows as well as grappling in the clinch.
