Samui Thai Boxing [Muay Thai]

     Thai boxing has a long history and has been very popular and attractive to the Thai people. Everybody seems to support Muay Thai and wants to see this sport progress further. Careful management based on a technical approach will certainly benefit this kind of sport. It is highly hoped that every person who is interested in this sport will take part in developing it to its higher efficiency so that it becomes the country’s outstanding sport. Thailand’s boxing has several interesting points because it is our Thai style of boxing, which is regarded as a high-efficiency fighting method, and it is interesting to foreigners, too.

     Thai boxing has had a close relationship with our national security and progress because Muay Thai is a way of self-defence. It is a sport originating from the self-defence of those ancient Thai warriors. At present, we need to protect ourselves by using fighting on the one hand, and by developing our country on the other. Boxers are well aware that if they fight with their force only, they are quite certain to lose. They need the support of a good technical and academic approach as well as a firm mind ready to move ahead and avoid undesirable effects.
