#MuayThai #MartialArts - กีฬา
Fun fact: Muaythai was invented around the mid of 16th century in Ayutthaya period of Siam. (some says it can be traced back to 13th century). It developed from the battlefield tactics to make the soldiers as effective and deadly as possible, even without weapons. Muaythai is known as the “art of eight limbs” for the eight parts of the body that are used for striking and knock out the opponent: (for example fists, elbows, knees, and feet. etc.) This is the reason why Muaythai is so deadly powerful and brutal! (Recommend to watch Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior starring by Tony Jaa)
I am Thai. Some facts are a bit exaggerated. Anyway, this is a good video. I love this channel and Leo.
Thanks for sharing! Let me know what facts are exaggerated, I am really curious :)
AikidoSiauliai about fact 4 it is more like a legend than fact. We really not sure if it was real.
Makes sense, when I was writing about it, I was aware that it doesn't really feel like a fact, still I felt it's a great story to share. Could have avoided naming it a fact though :)
@@MartialArtsJourney Prajao Sua ‘Tiger King’ was the name of Thai King in the 18th century who made Muaythai a national combat sport. ‘Tiger Mask’ was a Japanese cartoon in the 70’s representing Wrestling.
@@MartialArtsJourney I'm Thai, and you did NOT exaggerated fact 4 trust me. The person claimed it was exaggerated is probably a Khmer and said he's Thai lol
The origins of Muay Thai. It was created for use in past wars.
It is used as a murder weapon on the battlefield if you have to fight with your bare hands.
Thai kickboxing has done wonders for me it is something that I've loved my whole life and 7 months ago I've dedicated a lot of time into practicing it and getting my diet squirt away self discipline honor respect are core values in Mauy Thai I become stronger physically spiruitly and mentally
Let us not forget some men like Nai Khanom Tom who was captured by Burma and used Muay Thai to fight to get back to Ayutthaya.
"Tiger King" has taken on a new meaning since this video was made....😂
I can't wait to start Muay Thai this summer
After watching this video I am "Bankok ready"
Look into it
Nice video as usual, do you plan on doing more martial art videos like this one?
Hi Paulis, yes, actually I used to do them regularly for a short time, but they take a lot of time to make. These days I have more energy and am planning to make some more of them. Happy to hear you like it
it's my favorite! I like boxing a lot too, but Muay Thai makes me feel so prepared, because I get to use my arms, legs, shins, elbows, knees. It's great! Shins get so bruised the first week though 😂
I'm also planning on doing boxing and Thai box/ mma
Very interesting thanks for sharing.
It would be great to have similar intro overviews for other martial arts (for example, I hadn't heard of, or seen, Taido, until recently and an intro video. It's a fascinating art that has has some very interesting concepts and techniques. And I had no idea of the range of Indian martial arts).
Great video! I look forward to more content. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Also, I forgot to add you as the person who requested the video in the video itself, but I've just added you to the description
AikidoSiauliai That wasn't necessary, but thanks.
now top Thai MT fighters earn 2,000 - 6000$ a match in Thailand. 💪👊👍
That is very satisfying to hear
You must thank Tony Jaa for this.
Where's Sagat?!
Last Minute Heroics remember his super “Tiger Genocide?”
Well, Thai sword often break in battle when strike it too hard against the shield, and I think that’s another reason why they developed Muay Thai
🙏🏽🙌🏽 Respect Thank you. More Muay thai please.
Master Ken cameo 😂
They Trained like Spartan
But without lance and shield
Best martial art
Great vid. Thank you.
Glad you liked it
Could you do a video on the most effective form of Stand Up fighting
Will add it to the request list
AikidoSiauliai Thanks alot, a big fan of your work
Sanātana Dharma Thank you!
Youre looking at it lol
Obviously you didn't watch this video or don't know anything about martial arts because Muay Thai is the most effective stand up form. Period.
Would mauy thai be good for my daughter? She’s half Filipino half Canadian. My wife and i want her to know how to defend herself and we want a martial arts where they can train against others.
Omg... is this where they got the idea for King in the Tekken games? If so that blows my mind 😅
Muay thai is the best striking art
...Consider the future in MMA, when a portion of the 60,000 or so( plus) fighters of high level MuayThai begin taking to MMA, particularly once they realise, as professional fighters, the type of money there is to be made in the sport....I, myself, anticipate this occurring in the future, despite the fact that I love Thai Boxing so much more than MMA, and have trained in the art of Muay Thai, and Muay Boran , for over 20 years....
They need to learn wrestling and BJJ to do MMA, and that takes time.
@@renatao6330 muay thai uses Greco Roman wrestling to an extent
As if MMA fighters below the top 1% make any decent money
what khan are u
Thai people don't do ground fight, it's a woman fight.
We don't punish a fall guy but let them stand up and fight again, that's Thai mentality.
So it's quite obvious that not many Muay Thai fighters join MMA or UFC.
It's not their things.
another great video with my coffee. How about pre-world war II martial arts? I think you can do a great job at it.
Thanks! Glad it went well with your coffee :) I will add the pre-world war II martial arts to the list of suggestions and will probably make it a reality. It's a great idea.
I want to start a martial art and muay thai is the one I would like to do.
But you guys have experience, would you recommend muay thai to someone who wants to start a martial art at the age of 31? I do a lot of sport already.
I think the rules like no kicks to the knee make it safer then mma for example, on the other hand it is often described as being very brutal.
I don't expect an easy sport and I am willing to dedicate myself to it approprietly but I don't want my body to wear down more then it does benefit me, you know what i mean?
Thanks for any answer in advance!
Me being a 31 year old i plan to do boxing, Thai box and MMA aside from hitting the gym.
There is a rule that doesn't allow kicks to the knee but it will still happen by mistake, trust me, especially when your opponent is a beginner or amateur. It will not wear you down as a hobby if you're not trying to become professional at that age. It will definitely benefit you though.
@@kaen4299 Thanks a lot for the answer 💪💪
I did not know a lot at the time of the comment. Of course kicks to the knee directly are forbidden in any sport.
As a kid I been learning Muay boran and muay thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a very long time since I was 6 years old with my dad and I still practice them all of the time and Everytime I train it spar with a opponents I prefer to wear the ropes not boxing gloves because I like using the ropes more because I like to stick with the traditional martial arts of Thailand
Thx!
Check out Dutch kickboxing . It is a mix of kyokushin and muay tai
Hi I would like to know if muay thai compared to other contact sports (mma, kickboxing) is somewhat safer for the brain being quite scared by the new CTE data. I am asking this question because I noticed that in Muay thai there is more emphasis on body strikes and fewer head strikes than in other sports and those are delivered by lighter weight fighters. Are these reasons real? And another reason would be that I see many former muay thai fighters reaching their 60's and having a career of over 300 fights and being mentally well. I ask because I have a 7 year old boy who wants a career in contact sports either kickboxing, mma or muay thai. Thank you!
Head damage is always a risk, but Muay Thai and MMA are actually quite safe in comparison to other sports. Boxing (and even sports like football) are extremely dangerous as head strikes are focal points, but with Muay Thai and other kickboxing, the strikes are far more versatile and limb based.
I also believe that many Asian martial arts had some kind of Indian martial arts influence which also includes muay Thai. I am not saying it came from India but was influenced.
Edit : Its much easier believe with this video I guess

foreigner wins,gets 2 pushbikes,some flowers and baht200p
thai loser gets 2 pushbikes,some flowers and 2 or 3 money belts totaling 20 to 50 thousand baht.
No Muay Thai as known today is not and was not a relevant answer to armed combat. Knees and kicks while they can be used are not a valid response to formations of projectile weapons (like firearms) or spears as was common during the time Muay Thai was developed. Unarmed fighting is designed for unarmed fighting, the lie that it isn't is common among charlatans trying to sell their nonsense to the people of today.
limbs do not mimic weapons nor bodies mimic armour, the exact opposite is true. Weapons are designed with us in mind both our strengths and weaknesses. This comes back to the nonsense above.
TIGER UPPERCUT !!!
Savate is more practical
I love Muay Thai, but I really have seen Muay Thai fighters dancing inorder to perform a some kind of Old Thai ritual to please their gods and to bring good luck. There is no doubt that Muay Thai fighters, the Thai ones are a little superstitions due to their culture. I don't like the fact that Such practical martial art like Muay Thai has many superstition related to it. After all, Muay Thai was developed for fighting only. Why not let it remain practical and stop practising such superstitious rituals.
That's not dancing. It's "wai kru", the purpose of this ritual is to pay respect to the teacher who teach them how to boxing. It's not about superstition at all (but you're right about Thai are very superstition).
Not only muay Thai but every art from in Thailand have wai kru such as traditional dance and Khon.
these are common knowledge facts
O
Glad that we don’t have to do the pagan aspects of this fighting style as certain beliefs won’t allow many to participate in this.
Wouldn't want to fight a Thai kid
Lethwei 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️
wearing mask to disguise while fighting, sounds like luchador.
The real was not necessary to disguise. In ancient time, it's hard to known people.
9th Amazing fact - Muay Thai has some of the best Aikido out there: th-cam.com/video/SD2PvP-jVds/w-d-xo.html
If you read Thai history their first kingdoms were set up by the Khmer people's therefore this fighting system originally Khmer Cambodian. As youbwill see carved into ankor watt

Muya thai,muya boran and muay lert rit is a triangle, also mt is combat sport,muay boran is thr martial art anc musy lert rit is a modern self defence/military system
*Some facts about Kru Muay Association* The Kru Muay Association originated from the separation of the amateur Muay Thai from the professional Muay Thai. This division pursued the goal to have Muay Thai recognized as an Olympic discipline by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). A project that has not been successful until today. The officials of professional Muay Thai would like to have nothing to do with Kru Muay. For them this club is only a necessary evil. If you take a closer look, you will notice that all the so-called traditional teachers of the Kru Muay Thai Association have simply appointed each other as teachers and are now worshipped by wealthy foreigners once a year. The whole association is very political, but has less fighting competence than an average boxer in Rajadamnern Stadium or a Buakauw (who is a Cambodian and not a Thai by the way). Despite comprehensive state support, the Kru Muay Association still has no coherent teaching concept for traditional Muay Boran and Muay Thai is still not Olympic.

muay thai is NOT a martial art is a sport, traditional styles of muay thai that today combined and call muay boran is the martial art. Muay let rit is a self defence/ military system. Muay thai is just sport like boxing wrestling bjj and judo
All have been used on the battlefield. So there a Martial art....?
Martial sport… is still *martial*
Stfu bruh and being a smart-ass
Lmao. Go try one then
Muay Thai is a martial you dumb nut smh
Judo is better
No it's not. Judokas can't throw a punch to save their life
King Jayavaraman of the Khmer Empire taught the war art of Bokator to his army. Eventually when the Eastern Khmer lands were stolen by Thailand, the Thais called Bokator, Muay Boran, as, let's be real, Thailand has always stolen from the Khmer Empire and Cambodia. Muay Thai is the French-occupied sports variation of Muay Boran.
Funny how these facts never get talked about.
Niyorills Go fuck yourself
Burmese has Lethwei and Thailand has Muaythai. They have been fighting for many years to proof that which one is the best and I like to watch it, but you know these two countries never complainted to each other who stole anyone's culture by showing their own history to claim it. So, how about cambodia why you always keep saying that Thailand has stole cambodia's martial art? I just wonder because when I watch the video about Mauythai and you guys always keep saying like that. In Asia martial arts I know Taekwondo, Karate, Muaythai, Lethwei, and Pencak silat. I recently heard in few years ago about Bokator. Last question for you, have you really thought they have learned bokator moves from the wall of Angkor Temple? Does it make sense?
