Muay Thai Boxing was developed
by Thai soldiers many centuries ago as a lethal form of close combat fighting.
The use of Knees, elbows, kicks, punches and even head butts were all
used as weapons of Muaythai.
In the early 19th Century Thailand was no longer at war with its neighbors
(Cambodia, Burma, Vietnam ) so the Thai soldiers started to practice muaythai
for competition amongst themselves.
In the 1980's a martial arts tournament was held to see what was the most
effective form of martial arts. Every style was invited... Kung Fu, Judo,
Aikido, Karate, Boxing, Wrestling. etc... The Muaythai Fighters won their
fights in the first round with devastating knock outs.The officials were
shocked at the violent & lethal style of fighting and branded Muaythai
as barbaric and unsporting. It was a decade before Muaythai fighters were
again invited to compete in such a tournament.
Little was known about the style of Muaythai boxing until Jean Claude
Van dame made the movie "Kick Boxer". His unusual style of fighting left
a lasting impression on many young martial arts enthusiasts & the sport
of Muay Thai has since been growing rapidly in popularity.
