“Muay Thai,” or Thai boxing, is an ancient martial art passed down through generations. Its journey to its present form has been a long and complex one. Let’s explore the origins of this fascinating fighting style.

Muay Thai boasts a rich history, originating as a battlefield combat technique. It emphasizes effective self-defense using various body parts as weapons, skillfully and artfully employed against opponents. These include fists, elbows, feet, shins, and knees. Considered a national art and a distinct hallmark of Thai culture, Muay Thai was seriously adopted by the military. In ancient times, Thais faced constant warfare, necessitating rigorous training in the art for combat. Muay Thai camps were established to pass on these vital skills from one generation to the next within families.
