History
A system of unarmed combat, Muay Thai (or Thai-Boxing) originated in what is now Thailand over two thousand years ago. It's
precise beginnings are shrouded in legend, but early records show that monks trained novices to become bodyguards for the
royal family. Exhibition fights were frequently staged for the royal court, and they could be brutal. Fighters had their hands
wrapper with rope, which was coated with a sticky resin and then dipped into crushed glass. The bouts often ended in death.
Thankfully, Muay Thai has evolved over the centuries. Competitors now wear protective equipment-it as they try to score
with punches, elbows, knees and kicks. Rugged and spectacular, Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand, mid is enjoying
a surge of international popularity with practitioners now in England, The Netherlands, Belgium. France, Australia, The United
States and Canada.
