In yoga, “eight limbs” refers to the individual pieces of a system for spiritual transcendence and includes physical postures as well as ritual observances, moral injunctions, and devotional worship. In Muay Thai, a Southeast Asian martial art similar to kickboxing, eight limbs refers to what you'll be using to beat your opponent: two hands, two feet, two elbows, and two knees. Awareness of the method will spread now that the World Boxing Council has “announced”their first official Muay Thai division. It will include 16 weight classes and plans for a women’s division. The first matches will be in Queensland, Australia on December 10.
