Musti-Yuddha (Sanskrit and Hindi: मुष्टि युद्ध ; Urdu: ‎ ) is the traditional South Asian form of boxing.
 The term literally means "fist combat", from the Sanskrit words "muśti" (fist) and "yuddha" (fight, battle, conflict).
 While this would originally have been used as a general term for any boxing art, today it usually refers to muki boxing from Varanasi, the only surviving unarmed style.
 In the Panjab there still exists an armed form of boxing called "loh-musti" in which the fighters wear an iron ring on one hand, although it is no longer used for sparring.
