However, Vismaya shared yet another video recently in which she can be seen passionately practicing yet another move. She can be seen working hard at perfecting a kick, alongside her trainer, in the video.

What she practices is reportedly a Thai martial art named Muay Thai, or

Thai boxing

, which is a combat sport in Thailand. Interestingly, it is also known as the art of eight limbs, for its combined use of shins, knees, elbows and fists. The martial art was even featured in certain Hollywood movies like ‘Only God Forgives,’ The Raid 2,’ ‘Kickboxer: Vengeance,’ ‘Never Back Down,’ ‘A Prayer Before Dawn,’ ‘I am’ and more. Actors Ryan Gosling, Matthew McConaughey, Jason Gann and the like are also said to be a

Muay Thai

enthusiast from Hollywood, in real life. If the video is anything to go by, Vismaya seems to be quite serious about the training of the art form, which is known for its tricky techniques.

Her dad Mohanlal and brother Pranav have also been martial arts enthusiasts for long, with Mohanlal famously being a wrestling champion while he was at college and Pranav’s interest in things like parkour. Pranav had displayed his martial arts skills in his movies like ‘Aadi’ and ‘Irupathi Onnam Noottandu’ as well. Well, with their background in the field, Vismaya need not look anywhere else for motivation.
