Ah, ok. We simply refer to those techniques as "Weapon Destruction".
They are totally legal. We push kick the thigh to intercept roundhouse kicks, we will knee a persons leg, parry their punches into our elbows, kick them in their arms, etc, etc.
The only rules governing this is that you can't stomp someones knee to break it, and you can't to joint locking moves like an armbar to break their elbow. Other than that, Weapon Destruction is a very integral part of Muay Thai.
For instance, "Breaking the Elephants Tusk" is when you trap and elbow spike someones leg when they kick.
