Answer 2

Muay Thai is a Bare bones, no frills no technicality form of Martial Arts that utilizes both kicking and punching as well as utilizing the knees and elbows for striking an opponent.

the original Martial Art that this discipline came from is Krabi Krabong (also from Thailand), but the techniques from that discipline were basically reduced down to what is used in Modern Muay Thai, although Krabi Krabong is still practiced in it's entirety today.

Muay Thai is also a major sport in Thailand, it is also the forerunner of Western Kickboxing, but unlike Western Kickboxing; it is far more vicious with fewer rules than it's Western counterpart.

Tada-Ken-Do, unfortunately I am not sure about, it may be a form of Kickboxing practiced in Japan.

Are you sure you have it spelled right, or I may know of it under another name.

Muay Thai isn't kickboxing. Kickboxing uses the feet and hands in combat/sport. Muay Thai utilizes the knees, elbows, feet, forearms and fists. There's a difference in how many weapons of the body you use/the rules.

Answer 5

Muay Thai kickboxing ("Thai Boxing") is the Thai name for a form of hard martial art practiced in several Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Cambodia (where it is known as Pradal Serey), Malaysia (where it is known as Tomoi) and as a similar style in Myanmar (called Lethwei). The different styles of fighting in mainland South East Asia are analogous to the different types of Kung Fu in China or Silat in the South East Asian islands or Malay World. It is the national sport of Thailand, and is also known as Thai Boxing or Art of the Eight Limbs.

Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand. Today, the Thai military uses a modified form of Muay Thai called Lerdrit. Traditional Muay Thai, as it is practiced today, varies slightly from the original art and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A master practitioner of Muay Thai thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight "points of contact," as opposed to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts. Muay Thai is an especially versatile, brutal, straightforward martial art.
