Thai Boxing is Thailand’s national sport, a traditional martial art which has been developed 500 years ago in the ancient capital of Ayutthaya. It's a self-defense technique that was practiced and tested in battle by the ancient warriors of the Kingdom of Siam. A combination of kickboxing and stand-up grappling called clinching, it is often referred to as the ‘art of the eight limbs’ (the arms, elbows, legs and knees, all of which are used to strike the opponent).
It is the oldest known style of kickboxing and the most effective. An adult Thai boxer will usually weigh not more than 55 kg, yet again and again when put up against opponents skilled in other martial arts, the Muay Thai fighter has come out on top.
Training is intensive and begins young, at six or seven years old, with a boxer’s first fight taking place at around age eight. Their dream, aside from earning money, is to fight in the legendary Bangkok stadiums, Lumpini and Ratchadamnoen, a glory reserved only for a few and watched on television every week by millions of Thai fans.
