What is it?
Muay Boran
Muay Boran is a complete fighting art that combines ring fighting systems and the martial aspects of the Siamese discipline.
In encouraging the two different aspects of the art to coexist, Muay Boran successfully bridges the gap between modern combat sports and traditional martial arts.
ANCIENT BATTLEFIELD SKILLS
Muay Boran began to develop in the Siamese battlefields thousands of years ago. Techniques tested through trial and error – the ones which survived passed on their knowledge. During times of peace, the warriors would practice and fight in bare-knuckle and wrapped hands boxing fights.
And Siamese kingdom was the only one never occupied, thanks to the developed Thai warriors and their supreme skills.
