Bodhi or HH do you know if there are any references to kickboxing/thaiboxing in Indian literature?
I know mushti yuddha was boxing & mallayuddha in its harder version was like pankration but what about using only hands & legs but with no ground fighting similar to Muay Thai, is that mentioned?
I ask because in Muay Thai several moves are named after Hindu figures like Hanumanta as mentioned here:
