The history of Muay Thai belongs with the history of the Thai people. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Art of the Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. Original Muay Thai was a dangerous sport, with no safety gear of any kind for the fighters, and only lengths of cords to wrap around the fists in place of gloves. They developed a form of close, hand-to-hand combat best suited for the kind of rough-terrain battle they were fighting. Over the years rules have been written along the line of international boxing regulations. In 1995 the World Muay Thai Council was set up by cabinet resolution in 1995 to promote this national heritage at national and international levels.
And now many people even some woman know about Muay Thai, they can learn Muay Thai from every where that they have training school accredited by the Ministry of Education. Muay Thai is not only for sport but Muay Thai can protect yourself from somebody who try to harm you.
Muay Thai one match has no more than 5 round and is fought in three minute rounds with two-minute breaks in between.
Most province capitals have a boxing ring, but the ultimate dream of young boxers is to fight at Lumpini or Ratchadamnoen, the biggest and most famous stadiums in the country. So there is a fight program every night.
