Thai Kick-Boxing
A Sciene and an Art of Self-Defence
Muay Thai or Thai kick-boxing is a popular and exciting sport.
The Thai kick-boxing is an art of self-defence, using all parts of
the body as weapon. The strength of boxing comes from physical
fitness, boosted morale and wisdom.
A boxer needs to have these
three things to make his movement graceful, rapid and strong.
His fighting ability is also essential to enable him to make right
decisions and reverse difficult situations.
Today Muay Thai has been preserved and promote as
an international sport. Those who are interested in Thai
kick-boxing can watch it at Bangkok' two main boxing
stadiums, Ratchadamnoen and Lumphini, where regular
contests are held.
