Muay Thai

Muay Thai or Thai boxing is a martial art and the national sport of Thailand. Muay Thai has developed from regular martial arts. If sword and spear were unusable, the warrior used his legs, elbows and fists to fight. The classic, traditional style is called Muay Thai Boran (Boran = traditional, old [word borrowing from the Pali language]). Muay Thai Boran is a very complex traditional martial art which includes not only the fights with different weapons, but also movements that go far beyond the unarmed techniques of modern Muay Thai. Krabi Krabong (short and long gun) refers to the fighting with various weapons, such as Krabi (sword), Daab (sword), Plong or Sri Sock (Stock), Ngauw (stick with a short sword attachment), manure, Kaen, May Sun and Loh (plate). The first official ring was used in 1921 and 1929 for the first time boxing gloves were used. Previously they had been fighting with hand drums. The protective cup is made from coconut shells. As a measure of time for a passage to 1929 were 13 coconut shells, which had a hole in the center and were placed in water. The first shell that fell, the passage was over. After this year, set lap times were introduced, according to the weight class between 2 × 2 × 3 minutes to a maximum of 5 minutes. Fighting Style Stylistically noticeable features of Muay Thai are elbow, knee and clinching techniques. The best-known for Muay Thai technique is the kick with the bare shin, targeted mostly at the thigh or rib area. Depending on the regulations and professional level of the fighter, knee kicks to the head are allowed. This context, the head of the opponent with his fists towards the floor can be drawn. When clinching, the opponents have standing to try to upset the balance and connect with your knees against the chest or the thigh of the opponent. Some regulations allow the capture and subsequent holding of the opponent’s leg. Because of the high risk of injury by elbow and knee techniques, Muay Thai is one of the toughest martial arts in the world called. The punch techniques are similar to the traditional European boxing, there are also impacts on the turn, allowed the head of the opponent is hit with a fist back. Some styles allow litters. Since most of the Muay Thai-throws are very dangerous, most of the rules prohibit it, however. Other martial arts have never had a major impact on the Thai martial art, because its own martial art was so advanced that the Thais saw no point in adding strangers to her techniques.
