Thai Boxing (Muai Thai)
Thai boxing is an ancient martial art handed down from generation to generation. The fights are commonly fierce and furious. Thai boxing is unique in which combatants use elbows, knees and bare feet as well as gloved fists.
A good contest is decided by application of techniques rather than brute force. There is a pre-fight "Wai Khru" rite with traditional Thai instruments, a Java pipe, double-ended drums and cymbals, providing musical accompaniment. Mae Mai Muai Thai
