The History of Muay Thai
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.
