The Brief History of Muaythai by TUFFguy

Sawassdeekrub! My name is TUFFguy. I'm one of the TUFFSPORTcrew. My specialty is Martial Arts and Muaythai in general. I have been told that I look quite like Sagat from Streetfighters... what do you say?

"Muaythai" is what we, Thai people, call our own martial art.

In the ancient times, no advanced weapons had been invented, so Thailand had to encounter and fight with various intruders to protect the land.

Muaythai is the art of using human's toughest organs such as head, fists, elbows, knees and feet (if you’re doing the math: it’s the art of 9 limbs) as weapons to injure enemies.
Not only tough guys like me can practise this self-defense art, everyone can learn Muaythai. The most important thing is how teachers or "Kru Muays" consider accepting someone to be a student.

Why? At that time, Thai soldiers were trained Muaythai to protect communities and defense themselves in the battle. Today, the goal of learning Muaythai is still the same, which is "to learn the self-defense". "Kru Muay" have to make sure that if someone want to learn Muaythai, they want to learn "the art of defense" not to bully others.

To tell you the truth, learning Muaythai is not only about learning the art of fighting, you have to learn our "cultures and norms” and concern about the "ritual" and "superstition" of Muaythai. And of course, I’m sure you know that any culture could not be taught and learnt simply just by reading books or watching videos.
