The Art of Siamese Grappling, is regarded by many experts as one of the secrets of the technical background of Thai Martial Arts.

A small part of the techniques of ancient Siamese Grappling (Muay Pram) are implemented in these times by skilful Thai boxers whenever they fight in the ring. The best Thai boxers are exceptional strikers as well as formidable stand-up grapplers. Smartly combining a vast arsenal of holds with upper and lower limbs strikes and with powerful throws, this simplified version of ancient Siamese Grappling proved to be one of the strongest tools in the hands of skilful ring fighters.

In recent years there has been a growing worldwide interest in effective Grappling based disciplines stimulated by the diffusion of mixed fights, in which most of the times the grapplers emerged victorious. Moreover, since most street fights end up at grappling range, knowing how to grab and strike at the same time, how to lock a limb in order to dislocate a joint, how to throw and finish the opponent on the ground, are fundamental technical attributes that every serious student interested in real fighting truly needs.

 

 

The Siamese combat grappling system of Muay Pram is a  complete fighting system that probably has its distant roots in ancestral Indian Martial Arts and that has been nourished by the ingenuity and the creativity of generations of Siamese warriors for centuries.
