In the old days Thai warriors developed special and more sophisticated skills by combining their existing knowledge of using weapons like sabers, clubs, swords and lances with Muay Thai. These great warriors entered the monkhood where they spent the rest of their lives teaching their students what they knew best. Since Buddhism had long been Thailand’s national religion and Muay Thai was basically taught by Buddhist monks, an unbreakable bond between Buddhism and Muay Thai developed which can easily be seen today from the pre-bout ritual, the Wai Kru, each Muay Thai fighter performs. Before the match begins, with a sacred cotton band, a Prajit, worn around his bicep and over his head, a Mongkol, each contender solemnly says a prayer and performs a sacred dance routine to commemorate his master who teaches and trains him for the fight.

Challenging, exhilarating and safe, Muay Thai demands and develops total physical fitness including, strength, power, stamina, speed, balance, rhythm, coordination, flexibility and abdominal development.
