Muay Thai is a martial art developed in Thailand in which blows in addition to kickboxing may also be struck with the elbows and knees. Another technique used in Muay Thai is the clinch (upper body grappling). There is also a variety of other differences between Muay Thai and kickboxing, but in the way of body fitness and health benefits the both combat sports have lots in common, as Muay Thai is also an excellent high intensity workout which improves cardio, strength, balance, coordination and whole body fitness.

And as it uses even more parts of the body it is an excellent training to develop self-defense skills.
