Muaythai symbolizes as “The art of eight limbs” because as a fighter you use hands, elbows, shins and knees to fight. Muay Boran is the ancestor of Thai boxing. Every year on March 17th Thai people celebrate Boxer’s Day or National Muay Thai day. There are few stories behind the celebration. On this day, Nai Khanom Tom, a Muay fighter beat ten Burmese Lethwei champions and earned his freedom from King Mangra.

King Prachao Sua is another Muay Thai legend. He was a king however, his love for Thai boxing brings him to the ring and Prachao Sua defeated three renowned fighters of his time. But later on he had to quit because Thai people respect their King a lot and can not fight with him. King’s love for Thailand’s national sport is evident form the fact that his two sons went under Muaythai training, wrestling and sword fighting.

Thailand’s national sport of Muay Thai

Muay Thai is full of rich history and has come a long way in terms of popularity as well as training techniques. Muaythai training is not easy. It requires commitment, dedication and above all patience. In Thailand, kids looking to become professional Muay Thai fighters, starts training at the age of around 6-8 years. There are several training institutes and camps in Thailand where you can learn Thai boxing.

You’ll learn Muay Thai techniques for fitness, self defense or to become professional fighter. The techniques that you’d learn at the camps or training institutes are how to throw punches, knees, elbows and kicks. You’d get familiar with level of kicks and know more about punches.

Some other elements that incorporate the training are stretching, running, and shadow boxing. An avid fighter needs to run approximately 18 kilometers in a day and undergo 20-30 minutes of stretching to improve the elasticity of the muscles and reduce the stretch reflex.
