The name Muay Thai in free translation means "art of eight limbs", i.e. two fists, two shins, two elbows and two knees. Fighting takes place in the ring, in stand-up collar. An important element is the fight in the clinch (short circuit), which is a characteristic, distinctive element of Thai boxing. The strokes during the fight of the players are inflicted with such force that a large part of the fighting ends with a knockout and the players land on a stretcher. The photo report was made in Bangkok, Thailand, 2015, among others at Rajdamner Boxing Stadium.
