Muay Thai, or in Greek terminology, Thai boxing, has been part of Thailand's history and heritage for hundreds of years, as is the case with all ancient traditions. There are many different versions of the history of Muay Thai, but all sources agree that Muay Thai has been the primary and most effective method of self-defense for Thai warriors in the countless battlefields and battles fought throughout the history of the nation now called Thailand. . At that time the war manual 'Chupasart' was written. Chupasart emphasized the use of every part of the body in martial arts. The manual's philosophy was that combat required more than the use of weapons; it required engagement of mind, body, and soul. During the reign of King Prachao Sua (1697-1709 AD), Muay Thai first became known as a sport. The King had a great love for this martial art and was known to participate in tournaments in small towns and villages, where he disguised himself as a commoner, often defeating the local champions. When the country went through a period of peace and to keep the army alert, the King ordered the soldiers to train in Muaitai. This was the trigger to start organizing the first tournaments around the country. In 1774, the legendary Nai Khanom Dtom made Muaythai famous for his fight against a group of Burmese while a prisoner of war in Burma (now Myanmar). Nai Khanom Dtom was arrested when the Burmese captured the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya. Nai Khanom Dtom is legendary for defeating ten of Burma's top boxers, in one breath, in a tournament. He is distinguished by his will to win for the sake of honor (and not the prize) and his willingness to overcome any difficulties. This is summed up like this: "Nothing can stand in your way but yourself." At the same time, the army implemented the Muay Thai system. Thai soldiers train and use Muay Thai techniques. For the land army, the art of war has always found application in close combat. When a Thai soldier fights hand to hand, he applies the practices of Muay Thai. So does every ordinary Thai citizen, male or female. Watching and learning are part of Thai childhood. Muay Thai soon became everyone's daily sport and thus training centers were established all over the country. In the early 1930s Muay Thai was officially codified; rules and regulations were established and it became known to the sporting world. In the early 20th century Muay Thai became known worldwide as a safe boxing sport. Then eight-part round-robin competitions were introduced, as in world boxing, and the Queensbury boxing rules were adopted for boxing gloves, which replaced the ropes that fighters wrapped around their hands and arms. With a centuries-long history, Muay Thai has evolved and is now recognized in many countries worldwide, creating a new era of proud world history. In recent years, Muay Thai, both amateur and professional, has spread worldwide and developed into a top boxing sport. Muay Thai is an unarmed martial art that is both entertaining to the viewer and a form of self-defense and an effective training program.
