As one of the much talked about sports, Thai Boxing as a martial art has been a sought after craft and has been watched with avid enthusiasm by many a traveler.
Thai kick boxing or otherwise known as Mua Thai is a martial craft from Thailand and evolved from Muay Boron which was ancient unarmed martial arts without the use of modern equipments like gloves and shoes. The origin of Thai Boxing goes back to over a few thousand years, but however, records can only be traced back to 400 years to Ayuthaya the capital of Siam which was the former name of Thailand.
The word Muay Thai comes from the Sanskrit word Muay and Tai for Thai means “Art of Eight Limbs”. The eight refers to the eight points of contacts that are used in this sport which are punch, elbow, knees and kicks. Unlike western and eastern martial arts like boxing and kung fu which use two and four points of contact, Thai Kick Boxing uses eight contact points. The ones who practices this sport are called as Nak Muay and foreign boxers are called as Nak Muay Farang.
Thai kick boxing has two techniques the Mae Mai which is the major technique and Luk Mai the minor technique. In the traditional style of Thai Kick Boxing opponents exchange blow for blow but in the modern style that is not encouraged anymore. The style of fighting has not changed, it comprises of using the entire body movement and rotating the hips for every kick, elbow, punch and block. One of the most scenic places to learn this art in Thailand is the tropical paradise island of Khao Tao where Mua Thai camps offers the best training in this sport in Thailand.
