Whether in the capital Bangkok or in remote villages, there are boxing gyms everywhere. Thailand was called Siam in ancient times. There are several theories about the origin of Muay Thai:
It is said that it was created by the ancient king of Siam. It is said that in A.D. 1560 (Thai Buddhist Calendar 2 103), there was a war between Myanmar and Siam. In a battle, King Nanison of Siam was captured. Knowing that King Siam was a famous boxer, the King of Myanmar offered to let the King of Siam compete with the champion of Myanmar, and if he won, he could be released to China. As a result, the King of Siam defeated his opponent with fierce kneecaps, kicks and elbows to win. King Siam returned to China and returned home as a hero. According to his own combat experience, he created a set of hand-to-hand combat skills on the battlefield and taught them to soldiers, and named them "Muay Thai", which is recognized as a national martial art and has been passed down to this day.
It is said that a warrior in Siam was the founder of Muay Thai. In a war between Myanmar and Siam, the warrior met a dozen Burmese soldiers with his bare hands and fought with Muay Thai, injuring all his opponents. After returning home, he was rewarded by the king and was asked to teach boxing and train soldiers.
One is based on an ancient boxing called "Lan Fan". /kloc-At the beginning of the 6th century, Thailand was in a dynasty of "excluding Nanxun". In order to resist foreign invasion, the ruler stipulated that all soldiers should practice an ancient boxing called "Lan Fan" to improve the unarmed combat ability of Thai troops. This kind of "Lan Fan" is the embryonic form of modern Muay Thai, while the ancient "Lan Fan" boxing pays attention to the human factor and thinks that any part of the human body can be used as an attack weapon. The moves include hitting the head, biting, grabbing, gouging out, hitting the shoulder, hitting the hip, wrestling, punching, kicking, hitting the knee, hitting the elbow and so on.
