Almost but not quite. Kickboxing can be used as the name for both a martial art style or a catagory of martial arts. For example the art I practice is kickboxing. It is not however Muay Thai. In Muay Thai for example they will teach you how to throw leaping elbow strikes to they top of the head. They do not teach this move at my school.
