Muay Boran

As Muay Thai became standardised and internationalised absorbing many elements of Western Boxing many looked back fondly to the days of Muay Kaad chuek. Muay Boran is a traditional form of Muay Thai still taught in Thailand and never was real fight in the ring.

It is highly ritualised and training is a very long and involved process. Muay Boran students practice techniques for a long time before being allowed to progress to the next step. At the heart of Muay Boran is the Yaang Sam Khun (three strides). Muay Boran is both highly entertaining and effective. Pairings are done in the traditional style, not by weight, and all parts of the body are potential targets.
