Muay Thai is an ancient sport of Thailand which is popular with people of all classes every time In the beginning, Muay Thai did not have any written rules. But Mr. Sanam would have clarified to the boxer competing with the rules of that competition These guidelines, as they were used more, became a tradition. And it was used as a basis for the competition at a later time.
History of Muay Thai
Muay Thai began in the absence. And no book has been written that will happen in any time But as far as it appears, Muay Thai has been around for a long time and may have happened with the Thai nation Because Muay Thai is really the national art of Thailand, it is difficult for other nations to imitate.
Muay Thai in the past as you know it has been practiced among the soldiers. Because in the past, Thailand, we have often fought and fought with neighboring countries. Fighting in those days, there was no gun to fight, but two-handed and one-handed swords. When this happened, there was a close battle. Thai people saw that at that time the sword battle was too close to the body, sometimes the opponent could come and slash us easily. Thais then practice pedaling and kicking the opponent so that the opponent can lose the main goal so that we can pick the teeth more easily, making the opponent lose.
Later, when kick-kicking was practiced among the soldiers, it was thought how to use kick kicking as an art form for hand combat. So there must be someone who would think to practice self-defense for the use of the show when there are festivals to show off to the villagers and to be strange for the villagers. When this is the case for a long time Villagers or Thais have seen kicking and kicking widespread and frequent As a result, the villagers have practiced Muay Thai until they set up many training schools. But for practicing Muay Thai, it must have been a well-known swordsman and a good teacher to train.
Therefore, Muay Thai in those days was practiced for two meanings, namely
1. In order to fight the enemy.
2. To fight and defend oneself
In those days, anyone who has good sword music and is good at fighting, must be good at Muay Thai as well. Because when fighting, it has to rely on Muay Thai to help Therefore, Muay Thai at that time aims to practice sword music and Muay Thai at the same time in order to serve the nation as a soldier as well.
But after the war, there will be boxing for fun. And there is a lot of betting between the good boxers from one village and the good boxers from the other fighting each other in the face of the festival. Or there will be challenges and there will be further gambling. Boxing in those days, punched with bare fists, there was no rope, such as the early Ayutthaya period. In those days, the Thai person who made the most famous for the country in Muay Thai was Mr. Kanom Tom. Which has used Muay Thai to fight Burmese up to 10 people and Burmese has lost to Mr. Kanom Tom all until the Burmese king said, "Thai people, even without a sword. Even empty hands have poison all around. "
Mr. Kanom Tom was like the father of Muay Thai because it made Thai people famous for Muay Thai at that time. And the fame has become famous until today
In later times, Muay Thai was still practiced in conjunction with swordsmanship, and was also practiced and used for warfare and training for self-defense combat. Sometimes training to punch in various festivals In the late Ayutthaya period, some Thai kings were very skilled in Muay Thai, such as Phra Chao Suea or Khun Luang Sorasak. Who escaped from the palace to fight with the villagers and win Later, the people knew and saw that he was a skilled Muay Thai artist at a very good level, in the later days there were many people who were skilled in Muay Thai, such as King Taksin.
Muay Thai has sustained until the present day. And in the late Ayutthaya period Muay Thai fights each other by tying a rope, ie using a rope as a hand cloth. Sometimes a fight can be fatal because of the string that is tied to the hand, and sometimes a piece of fine glass is dipped in oil, where it is wound. It can be seen that Muay Thai at that time was extremely dangerous.
Later, at the end of the Ayutthaya period, Muay Thai was practiced by various training schools and practiced extensively. Until the Rattanakosin period, there was a boxing ring where fun competitions were held, such as the Suan Chao Chet Stage and the Suan Kularb Stage. In which the boxing is still tying on the rope Until after Mitt has come into widespread in Thailand Fighting in the latter, therefore wearing a boxing glove But the fight is still the same, that is, the elbow and knee thrusts are used as seen today.
