Muay Thai's debut in Egypt revealed
Wael Faher, coach of the Egyptian Muay Thai team, revealed that this combat sport, known as the Art of Eight Limbs, utilizes punches, kicks, elbow strikes, and knee strikes, and is practiced in boxing rings. He added that the sport originated in Egypt in 2020, after self-initiated efforts since 2003, and that tournaments and courses have been organized, which helped increase the number of practitioners. Egypt participated in its first world championship in 2021, where it won multiple medals, including one gold, two silvers, and several bronzes. He also confirmed that world champion Samaa Ibrahim, who began practicing at the age of 14, initially refused to start because she considered the sport to be difficult, but she became outstanding after challenging herself and reaching the top spot globally.
