The Spirit Of Muay Thai

THAI BOXING or Muay Thai,
the art of fighting, is part of the
identity of the THAI people.

Muay Thai Yesterday

Its root go back to ancient times in
Thai history, during which SIAM (Thailand)
was at war with its neighbouring countries,
in order to protect its "Golden Land".

Throughout the years warfare tactics and
weaponry changed drastically, but the Muay
Thai tradition ramained unchanged.

Muay Thai Today

--------------------------------------------

MAN first learned how to use the only weapons
he was born with, hands, feet and other parts of his
body, to engage in non-weapon or barehanded
combat in order to defend himself and stay alive
and safe from all the threats around him.

Over time, when life-threatening combat
turned competition over prize and reward, rules
and regulations were created and enforced
to prevent serious injuries.

Once a sheer hostile combat, this
competition became regulated and recognized
as a sporting event called “MUAY.”



YOU WANNA PUNCH IT?

--------------------------------------------

Muay Thai is a martial art that can truly apply
to real life situation both in self-defense and sport.

Thai ancestors had taught and passed on this great
legacy of Muay Thai to younger generations.



Muay Thai. Originally, special skills were only
taught among individuals of noble status from the
top, the king or ruler, down to individuals
of high-ranking military status.

Later, special skills were passed on to the public
or people of common status by individuals who
once served honorably in the Royal Army.

These great warriors went into retirement,
gave up their worldly desires, and entered
monkhood where they spent their time
teaching their students what they knew best.

Since Buddhism had long been Thailand’s
National Religion and Muay Thai were basically
taught by Buddhist monks, a seemingly unbreakable
bond between Buddhism and Muay Thai.



HERE'S THE RING!

MUAY THAI TECHNIQUES

In its original form, Muay Thai consisted of an
arsenal of nine weapons - the head, fists, elbows,
knees and feet - known collectively as na-wa arwud.

Although in modern Muay Thai, both
amateur and professional, headbutting
an opponent is no longer allowed.

Muay Thai is unique in the way it uses all parts
of the body, including the elbows and knees,
for both training and competitions.
