http://gustavothomastheatre.blogspot.com/2007/03/muay-thai-muay-bora-thai-boxing-bangkok.html Traditional Muay Thai in Lumpini Stadium, Bangkok. This is a special one style called Muay Boran. Here, the two fighters perform a ritual dance(ram wai) before the fight (a very good one I think). A big difference between commercial box thai and traditional Muay Thai. Taking a video tape in that place was very hard, too much people walking and yelling around, betting, etc. Anyway, video here is a document not a technical contest.

  • i'm glad to hear ...

    i'm glad to hear that you learning "wai klu", learning a martial art isn't always about the punching but the culture of it too. To understand the art you must comprehend where it came from. I despise alot of american muay thai gym becuase they treat it as a sport instead of an art, alot of gyms don't teach wai klu anymore and it's sad

    that's becuase of some war where the burmese captured the state of ayuthoya i believe...but what's for sure was that alot of the thai record were burned and that's why there's no exact scriptures of ancient muay thai

  • lmao no copy paste, ...

    lmao no copy paste, i used to train Muay Thai and my instructor insisted we learn all aspects of Muay Thai...what i wrote was what my instructor told me, after i told him diggin up info was hard to do since there arent many records on the history of muay thai...and there's numerous stories about the origins of muay thai...i guess the only thing they all have in common is that muay thai was used in ancient wars between Siam and Burma...

  • chidoridesu, muay ...

    chidoridesu, muay boran is the son of mae mai...i assume youve heard the of the farmer who was captured by burmese soldiers and taken as a slave? he used mae mai to defeat ten men before the burmese king, the burmese king let him free after this display of courage...once in thailand the king enlisted him and he spent the rest of his life teaching mae mai muay thai to thai soldiers, and he eventually developed muay boran as a competition sport during peace times...=)

    this is really 100% muay boran, cos there aint no throws, to me its just a tradional muay thai preformance. and ram muay thai is prefermed before muay thai fights, not only muay boran fights
