Muay Thai, also called Pahuyuth, is a way around difficult medium-range martial art national sport of Thailand. Style is one of the most popular martial art in the world. For a normal eye, is something like "concentrate" kickboxing, "concentrated" in the sense that the elbow strike, knee below the belt starts clinch allowed here.
Muay Thai, despite a Thai martial art, is often similar or identical to many other art forms practiced in several Southeast Asian countries: Bare Knuckle Boxing Burma / Myanmar Lethwei, Pradal Serey in Combodia, Lao in Laos Tomoi Boxing in Malaysia. This can be explained in part by the following case history. Around the year 200 BC, the Han Dynasty of China invaded and took over the reigns of Ai-lao (the name given by China to them). This led to the gradual migration of many Ai-lao in Central and West Asia to Southeast Asia, which divides into three branches in the process: the Shans were established in Burma, the Ahom went eastward in Vietnam, Loa -Tai in Laos today.
At the end of the 19thcentury, the early stages of forming in Thailand Laos and Thailand, with the capture of two cities Khmer (Khmer, the largest empire in Asia's richest around 6thcentury, originally from India.) In 1238 , Muang Thai land of liberty, a nation of embryos, created what eventually becomes Thailand. Since its birth, was under constant threat, and war against the Burmese to the west, and the Khmer south-east. To deal with it, during the period of Ayudhhya Uthong Prince (aprox.1350-1750, Golden age considered Thailand), a training manual called "The Chupasart 'has been produced by distillation of the fight against serious knowledge the great warriors of the nation, leading to a combat art battlefield.
Around 1854, called Ayuddhaya period under King Naresuan (also known as the Black Prince), the first great boom in interest in Muay Thai happened. Siamese Boxing modified to complement according to use weapons. He created duets battle drills, boxing competitions organized exercises large-scale combat, while teaching science war on his people. One of the duets was Krabi (sword, long sword with a curved tip and handle large teak formed by water buffalo / horn) Krabong (the spear / staff), almost similar to Manipuri Thang-Ta, which, Krabi-Krabong name came for the art of the mother. Because so many soldiers were seriously injured or killed either during combat weapons training, unarmed art (Muay Boran / Muay the Chao Chur), almost equally effective, was created. As was to be used on battlefields, where there were always multiple attackers, originally made little use of attack and submission holds, but focused more on the round of crushing blows and bone shattering elbows knees with the aim of taking their rivals with only one or two shots / strokes.
He soon became a national passion 17thCentury around the Chao Pra under King Sua / King Tiger. He loved art so often wandered disguised Siam fought in the struggles of the people, challenging corners and all other undefeated for 7 years. Many of his personal fighting techniques became the basis of modern Muay Thai.
Another famous warrior Muay Boran was a commoner named Nai Khanom Tom. In 1767, along with some 29,999 Thais were arrested by Burmese invaders came to Ungwa, Burma. After being jailed for 7 years (some sources say 1 year), was selected to represent prisoners of war in a Thai boxing contest as part of a great festival organized by the Burmese King Mangra in a Buddhist temple in Rangoon , where a sacred relic of Buddha is enshrined. Wai Kru did to respect the King and the people of Burma, Burmese incredibly Lethwei 10 champions defeated in succession without rest. The king was so impressed that he granted his freedom and other prisoners of Thailand, along with two beautiful women from Burma. Even today, his feat is celebrated "National Muay Thai Day" on 17 March each year, where young Thai boxers make ram muay Wai Wai Khru prajam Khru urinate.
After the assailants were expelled from Burma in late 1767, the number of the kings of Thailand free spared no efforts in promoting art. Thai Boxing became the favorite past time sports people, the army, the Kings. Around 1920, during the reign of King Rama 7, the name of "Muay Thai" was given to this popular sport, referring the most ancient style of Muay Boran.
Muay Thai has lost none of its appeal in Thailand. He is loved enjoyed by people of all sections. The struggle between the rate of broadcast TV's most popular programs of the Kingdom. Even in the most remote village, people cluster around local struggles and TV available to watch four television stations Muay Thai free Thai fights emissions four nights a week. The glory is also found in Rajdamnern Lumpinee stadiums (establishment stage began during the reign of King Rama, 7, before World War 2). The two main centers for the study of Muay Thai is the capital city of Bangkok, the northern capital of Chiang Mai. Thailand military cadet schools also teach a modified version of Muay Thai called Lerd Rit (ie, extreme power), an art of unarmed combat used in conjunction with Krabi-Krabong, includes breaking boards, glass bottles with the elbows, etc
Contribution of Buddhist monks in the history of Muay Thai is great. Since the 14th century, Buddhist monks in the 'temple Buddhai Swan' the world famous (like the Chinese "Shaolin Temple", similar to the ancient tradition) have been teaching martial art as a philosophy and a way of life. Buddhist monks continued the practice of Muay Thai for hundreds of years. Its popularity spread to ordinary people by young men who have learned the art of the monks, as each urges Thai man living as a monk at least once in their life.
Muay Thai is regarded as one of the deadliest combat sports in the world and brutal by some. As in other martial arts styles, which was originally intended for the field of battle for survival as the only rule. Until 1920, was part of the school curriculum in Thailand, but retired as the type of injury was too high. In ancient times, warriors wore horse hide straps wrapped around the forearm cuffs to cut the skin of the opponent. Belts and were soon replaced by rope hump, wrapped around their fists and wrists, and then layered over the strips of cloth soaked in glue that hardened into stone gauntlets. Some soldiers even used ground glass or stone mixed with glue. There were no weight classes bigger fighters fought the youngest and fighting continued until a fighter could not bear, with the loser horribly maimed or even death, the fight continued as long as a coconut shell enclosed in a tube completely immersed in water it. There were apparently no rules in the ring. After a death in a ring, King Rama 7 codified rules for Muay Thai were launched around 1920. However, the games were brutal violence, headbutts, kicks / knee to the groin, etc. are perfectly legal move. This slaughter continued until late 1930 when the Thai government stepped in and forced to adopt the international rules of boxing, weight divisions, etc. padded gloves, and prohibit many illegal moves, like the attacks in the groin, etc.
The Thais have great respect for the art of their teachers (Kun Kru). Thai boxers make it through the ancient tradition of Wai Khru / Bucha Kru / Ram Muay / Wai Khru ram muay (Wai: the act of showing respect / pray / apology with folded hands in front of the chest, as 'Namaste' in India ; Khru: teacher, Ram: traditional dance of Thai, Muay boxing), a ceremonial dance before the fight to show gratitude Kun Kru regarding the presentation of his teaching and training, to summon good spirits powerful drive away evil spirits from their corners. The fighter for God's blessing for himself and his opponent, for an honorable struggle or victory. Among charming traditional Thai music, the wrestler, Mongkon lead in the head (is said to possess the spiritual power of the Kun Kru all combatants in camp) Krung rangs biceps (thankfully a good extra protection), the Ram Muay, crowd control, the style of his skill to the audience, sometimes mocking or frightening to others by stomping around his opponent, etc (but not allowed to fly in anger). This ritual has developed in different ways, in different regions, different teachers, usually no two fighters perform Wai Khru identical (to prevent fighters trained by the same kru Kun of fighting each other). An expert in Muay Thai, just to see the Ram Muay, you can count and region coach of the wrestler belongs, or if you can lose or dominate the ring!
Wai Khru The elegant design is a ritual both spiritual and practical. Rehearsing the dance 'Kon Muay "(movements / styles of Muay Thai) before a fight, it warms the body, helping the body to the mind to be ready for battle. It is the most effective help to warm up, concentration Boxer classification, used to carry all I remember that the fight has been taught.

Muay Thai fighters (nak muay: Muay Thai practitioner) use any part of your body as a formidable weapon. Muay Thai is the "art of eight limbs" (originally nine weapons, including the head called 'na wa arwud' but now header is not allowed in the current Muay Thai). The practitioner running attack with eight "points of contact (hands, elbows, knees, shins) compared with four points, common in other forms of martial arts. There are about 108 traditional techniques of Muay Thai, and less than 30 ring up the repertoire of Thai boxing champion. In general, the emphasis of the kicks (the) knees (tee kao) in the elbow (sok t), hits (jok) is a ratio of 3:1. Muay Thai is known for his powerful strikes knee elbow, which represent the majority of the knockouts (KO).
Muay Thai uses many types of elbow strikes. When launched from the guard position, elbows are relatively difficult to block. In general, the relaxed arm hand deliver the elbow is kept open to maximize the power gain range, with simultaneous rotation of the feet, waist. Maximum below the elbow causes KO in the ring. Above all, the elbows are used when the distance between the fighters becomes too small little space to throw punches to the opponent. Hard elbow bone is also used to block punches, kicks, elbows, or elbow, etc. is one of the strongest parts of the human body, which contains three bones epicondyles of the humerus, olecranon of the ulna and the head and neck of the radio, we all know that human bone is stronger than the concrete of the same amount.

The version to seize or strike Kao tone in his right knee has been scientifically proven that the biggest blow the leg in the martial arts. A change of position shuffling is performed after each strike of the knee so that every knee is delivered from the power rear position.
Kicks are an important part of the fight Muay Thai. In many kicks used TEEP (toe thrust) are (kick angle) the most common. One technique is an angle dangerous Thai (roundhouse) kick to break the neck. The pivot on the front foot kicker to increase the power of his kicks and body weight make a kick, ie, Muay Thai fighter uses the whole body movement, hip rotation, sometimes counterclockwise rotation arms, to enhance power. The same is observed in case of strike, lock, knee or elbow, etc.
The striking part is usually the bottom of the tibia (one of the strongest bones in the body) does not, the foot or the instep, which are weaker and contain many fine bones. Shin (stronger even more sensitive to an ordinary person) is also used to block kicks / knees etc raising the knee to comply with the elbow, creating a formidable defensive shield. Thai boxers are not blocking kicks to the head, instead of time of the kick knee bypass the softer, inner thigh. The same goes for the knee, elbow or the blow, they remain at long range wear the opponent by kicking hard all year. In the ring, Thailand boxer tries to lessen the impact of dodge opponent's attacks, stopping or retreating from them, unless the tibia or the upper arm can break the hardened
Before the end of 1930, Muay Thai techniques were mainly hand roll, cut finger bumps or ridges, dipping speculation. Nowadays, art has become even more effective ring using boxing vaccine directly to the right / cross, hook, uppercut punches, punches rotor blade corkscrew overhead or bolus, Thai boxing etc. rarely uses the international style of boxing at long distance because it exposes too much of the body to the knees kicks. In extending the arm to strike, it is easier for elbows to go in and on the arm to hit the head. Favors much punch can end on the wrong side of an offensive clinch. Therefore, when a Thai boxer coup is in conjunction with the elbow and knee blows at close range.
The main objectives of Muay Thai is the abdomen, head, upper body, despite the low leg kicks are often used (to distract / distance / opponent's balance, they are also easier to implement, difficult block, with the aim of the femoral nerve, leg, knee or thigh or popliteal fossa).
Another important technique is to 'embrace', a partial foot fighting, which is used to strike or force the opponent's offensive or defensive purposes. Nak Muay often used techniques elbow knee in the clinch. Rivet On offense, the turning point of putting pressure on the opponent's neck and knees, his head down to where you can strike with the knee. Clamp that acts as a suffocating pressure in the carotid artery in the neck, which hinders blood flow to the brain, further weakening the adversary confusion. Along with the front clinch, which also use the arm clinch, clinch side, made with low gooseneck. In many techniques used to escape the offensive clinch, you can be as straight as possible, grab the opponent by the waist and pressing the body with him, stopping his attack of the knee. Your natural reaction is to push, giving enough space to launch his own elbow or knee. The Thai clinch doubles exercise pad. The headline across the pads in your abdomen to accept the "medicine ball training" multiple knees, to resist pull down the batter, strengthening her neck Shock kicks.
Headers, shooting from the hip shoulder are prohibited. So are wrestling, back or arm locks or any judo or wrestling is similar. Arealso allowed Thai boxers biting, eyes up, spitting, deliberately breaking fingers or striking the groin area.
As in full-contact karate (kyukushin), Muay Thai is largely focused on conditioning the body. From an early age, began his shin conditioning Mu `aysarah nak sensitive banana trees repeatedly striking, Thai pads and heavy bags, etc. They also use many techniques of" iron body training. " They train until they drop. They do not make the band as a symbol of progress or abilities (like many Japanese or Korean style), which have abilities that are measured in the ring, which is only concerned with the championship belts.
They work hundreds of times hard to prepare for a fight of five rounds. A professional boxer complete 5 to 7 miles of highway a short session of shadow boxing in the morning. At night, there will come a training ground for heavy bag work lightest freestyle battle, constantly moving for 4 to 6 hours, resting only at intervals of 1 min. Some work out of 4 or more hours at a marathon as a starter or batter of pills in Thailand.

It is also increasingly being used in many action movies, video games, etc. with very high success before they were always dominated by Chinese kung fu / taekwondo acrobatic kicks, styles etc recently, films like "Ong-Bak, the and Tom-Yum protector-Goong, born to fight and so Beautiful Boxer 'Muay Thai is strongly popularized, especially among young people.
Like most professional Thai boxers come from the lower socio-economic and fight for the money (no struggle there is no money), most belong to the lighter weight classes (70% - fly bantamweight divisions) , train very hard. It is not uncommon to see fighters like to participate in local fights Muay KAAD chuak. In the game that, in addition to the elbows, knees, punches, kicks clinch currently used in Muay Thai, also launched a header allowed. Instead of modern gloves, wrap your hands with a hemp rope, which provide little abrasions caused by frequent power cuts landfill. Contests are often savage bloody, no points system, so the win is by knockout or submission. If both participants are still standing at the end of the fight, the fight is declared a draw (These brutally simple rules have been abandoned in 1923). Usually, these competitions are held during the Songkran Festival Thailand (beginning of the new solar year, the April 13, 14, 15 each year), in honor of Tom Khnom Nai, Thai soldier legend.
