Muay Thai is a form of martial arts commonly considered as a form of kick-boxing from Thailand. In this style, you are allowed to use punches, elbows, knees, and kicks. You might also see some grappling like a Greco-Roman clinch. Along with Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai is one of the more popular styles used by modern mixed martial artists.
The ARC used to have a Muay Thai program but no longer offers it. When Nova Geração Davis Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy used to be called Elite Instinct, they ran a Muay Thai program as well but stopped offering it sometime in 2010. Ty Elliot taught at both the ARC and Elite.
Tracy's Karate teaches shootfighting, a martial art that combines Muay Thai, grappling techniques, and ground work.
Muay Thai matches are typically fought in a boxing ring like this one located at Superior Fighting Academy
