ABOUT THAI BOXING
Muay Thai, most commonly known as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand. With deep roots
in the medieval fields that the Siamese army battled on, it has evolved into a world-renowned
striking art used by today’s champions of the mixed martial arts ring. Muay Thai is also referred to
as "The Art of the Eight Limbed Warrior” because it proficiently utilizes the fighter’s hands, elbows,
knees and shins. A practitioner of Muay Thai, or "nak muay,” thus executes strikes using eight
points of contact, as opposed to only two points of contact (fists) used in Western boxing or four
points of contact (fists and feet) used in other martial arts.
Seasoned Muay Thai fighters are not only efficient in their execution of attacks but also have a
distinct sense of rhythm to their delivery of strikes. Their grace is attuned by the traditional use of
pipe and drums as musical accompaniments to matches. In a symbolic payment of respect to each
other and to trainers, fighters also dance the Ram Muay before each fight.
Although Thai Boxing can place significant strain on one’s body and mind, it has become relatively
safe with the development of sophisticated pad training that was designed to maintain fighters’
health between competitions. Muay Thai training methods that are used at Python BJJ/MMA
Academy develop one’s devastating power, increase speed and enhance cardiovascular endurance.
