Muay Thai aka Thai Kick Boxing - Watch or Learn
Muay Thai began as a sport in times of peace. But as in battle, Muay Thai was a deadly sport. Fighters wrapped their hands in hemp or leather thongs and fought with no time limits on rounds. The two warriors simply went at each other in a fury of flashing fists, knees, feet and elbows. While Thai boxing may have mellowed, it is still a hard nosed style of personal combat and a very popular spectator sport in Thailand. Muay Thai gyms across Thailand accept novices at a very young age. Muay Thai Boxing Stadiums in the Bangkok AreaLumpini Stadium - Rama IV Road, Bangkok - Tel: 02 252-8765.
