The History Of Thai Fights
Thai fights are competition fights carried out as a sport in Thailand and that involves huge stand up striking, and use of different grappling methods. A professional league exists in Thailand controlled by the World Thai Council specifically for the sport. The use of all limbs, that is knees, fists, elbows and feet has earned it the popular title of the art of eight limbs.
In the old days, the technique was traditionally used as an actual fighting combat in warfare, and was only later practiced as a sport. The opponents would meet in a ring in front of spectators gathered to watch the match as entertainment. As time went by, the fights became an integral part of the local traditions and celebrations of the people of Thailand, especially those organized in the temples. Later on, fighters were given hemp rope that they tied around their hands and forearms to protect themselves. This type of match was called the muay khat chueak.
Muay grew widely in the 19th century with the advance of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), during which the country became at peace, such that the technique was only used for leisure, self-defense, recreation, physical exercise and personal advancement. A boxing ring was introduced; the first one in Thailand, in 1921, and referees were brought in. Modern gloves and hard groin protectors were introduced in the sport and given to the fighters.
The strikes became a lot more damaging to the opponent with the introduction of knots in the rope on the knuckles. This was stopped after a death occurred in the ring, so gloves and cotton coverlets were later preferred. The term muay Thai became widespread while the previous version was known as muay boran.
Two types of Thai fighting exist; major technique (mae mai) and luk mai (minor techniques). All the techniques require the whole body to move, as well as the hip when taking kicks, punch, elbow and blocking. The fight has changed through years; for instance, a new sport famously called the muay Thai has emerged.
Many techniques are used to prevent attack. The fighter can use blocking, in which the he /she prevents a strike by stopping it before it reaches him/her. Redirection is used where a defender wades off an attack by changing its direction, making it to miss its designation. The defender can decide to use avoidance, in which he/she moves his/her body or part to avoid getting hit, and then finds space to counter attack.
The evasion technique is used by the defender by moving the whole body to prevent an attack, and the later moves it back to counter. A combination of the disruption technique, and the anticipation technique can be used when countering an attack, such as a roundhouse kick before it lands. This helps the fighter gain a positive advantage during the fight.
In the past, muay Thai was used to improve body fitness and toughness, which is required when participating in a match. The training can be in the form of running, jumping, shadowboxing, medicine ball exercises, weight training ,abdominal exercises, and bodyweight resistance exercises. These are useful to the health and fitness of the fighter.
