Muay
Thai has been a
part of Thai
Heritage &
History for over
2000 years – as
with most
objects and
traditions from
ancient times,
there exist many
different
versions of the
History of MUAY
THAI, but all
sources agree
that MUAY THAI
was the primary
(and most
effective) Self
Defense used by
Thai warriors on
the battlefields
of conflicts and
wars that have
occurred many
times in the
history of the
nation now known
as, Thailand.
The
first known
practice of MUAY
THAI as a
‘sport’, off and
away from the
heat and chaos
of the
battlefield,
occurred in the
15th century
when loosely
organized
competitions
started
sprouting up
around the
country. MUAY
THAI soon became
the favored
pastime sport
for people from
all walks of
life, with
training camps
being
established all
over the
country. It must
be remembered
that though it
was being
practiced as a
kind of
spectator sport
over the
following
centuries, it
was not the kind
of sport we are
used to seeing
in modern times
– Muay thai was
an extremely
dangerous that
often ended in
injury and for
the competitors
and
participants. It
wasn’t until
1930 that this
began to change,
when MUAYT HAI
was officially
codified, with
boxing gloves,
rules and
regulations
being created
and introduced
into the
sporting world
of the early
20th Century as
one of a safe
ring sport.
MUAY
THAI has had
many ‘faces’, as
a popular ring
sport, a Self
Defense and a
fitness program
and as MUAY THAI
has become more
and more popular
organizations
such as IFMA
have been
rightly
commissioned and
established to
regulate MUAY
THAI as a world
sport.
Now, MUAY
THAI is
established
around the world
as a fitness
form (MUAY
Aerobic), as a
ring sport (Muay
Thai) and as a
form of Self
Defense, (Muay
Boran). The
circle of
history has been
closed and
MUAYTHAI now
belongs to
World, making a
new and proud
world History.
