===Rules=== According to IFMA rules, Muay Thai is a full contact martial art that uses the fists, elbows, knees and feet to strike an opponent. For a strike to count as a point score, it has to connect without being blocked by your opponent. Strikes do not score if they connect with your opponent's glove, forearm, shin or foot. Strikes to the groin were allowed in Muay Thai boxing until the late 1980s, and are still permitted in Thailand itself, and in club or competition events that abide to the traditional rules. While competitors do wear groin protection, such as cups, the rules for club level sparring and competition events may vary regarding the protective gear that may or may not be worn. Mixed-sex fights are not practiced at international level, but do occur in club and inter-club sparring and competition events. If the fight goes the distance and both fighters finish with the same score, then the winner is determined by which fighter landed the most full contact blows.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Muaythai Rules β International Federation of Muaythai Associations|url=https://muaythai.sport/muaythai-rules/|access-date=2022-02-19|archive-date=18 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220218213608/https://muaythai.sport/muaythai-rules/|url-status=live}}</ref>
