THE HISTORY OF MUAY THAI KICKBOXING

Muay Thai's Early Rise

The old Kingdom of Siam, now Thailand, has always had trouble with its neighbours. Amazingly, this "Land of the Free" has resisted all conquests. This can be attributed to the fierce fighting spirit of the people. Muay Thai techniques were part of the military training system, which was greatly influenced by Chinese fighting methods in the beginning. It later changed and developed independently, losing many of the Chinese boxing methods along the way.

The Tiger King

Further skills were developed during the reign of King Pra Chao Sua, who was known as the Tiger King. Every village staged prize fights with people of all ages and statuses. The king was a skilled boxer and reportedly trained with his soldiers six hours a day. He would leave his palace disguised as a wandering peasant and enter boxing events and defeated numerous local champions.

The Greatest Fighter of Them All

Nai Khanom Tom was one of the most famous of all Siamese fighters. He was a brilliant athlete and a courageous man. Many regarded him as the best fighter in all Siam. During the many wars that Siam had, Nai Khanom Tom was captured by Burmese soldiers. They pitted him against 12 of Burma's top bando fighters (similar to Thai Boxing), and if he could defeat all 12, he would be allowed to go free. As he fought each one, they were taken out by lighting elbow strikes and fierce knee blows. Spectators loved him and were full of admiration for the prisoner. The King of Burma had no alternative but to let him go free.
