Muay Thai is actually a very skillful art which is a part of kick boxing. It is one of the most dangerous forms of boxing and was originally originated from Thailand. It is quite similar to some other forms of boxing and Combat Sports. You may say, it is quite like the Indochinese or Southeast Asian forms of boxing.

There are many other countries that have quite the same way of boxing, like, for example, take Cambodia. Cambodia actually has Pradal Serey, which is a form of boxing that has great resemblance with the Muay Thai style of boxing. Similarly, Malaysia has Tomoi, which can be said as a member of the same family of boxing as Muay Thai. Likewise, there is Lethwei in Burma and Muay Lao in Laos, which also are somewhat like Muay Thai.

Muay Thai Thailand boxing is actually the leading Combat Sports and so, is also said to be the National Sport of Thailand. Long before, the basis of Muay Thai was a milder form of boxing which was known as the Muay Boran.

It was quite mild actually, if you compare it with the Muay Thai of today. It did not have so many strict rules and neither was it authoritative, like it is today. Now, Muay Thai has transformed into a sport which is taken quite seriously and so it is not a piece of cake to be in this sport, you have to train yourself well for this and that you may only be able to do if you take proper training and coaching from any reputable Muay Thai gym in Thailand.
