From a technical point of view, the fighting, at the time of the reign of Prince black, as well as in subsequent periods up to the early twentieth century, were profoundly different from those that take place now: in addition to the handful of hits, elbow, calcium ( taken with the foot and the tibia), knee and head, were admitted strangolamenti and dislocations, as well as the kick all'inguine; had not developed the techniques of Western boxing, introduced much later, and coups Character handful of muay thai were added blows to the fingers tense, with shots edge in the handful artigliate tending to injure soft sides of the head and neck. Not used rokavice were introduced after 1929, his hands were bendate with ropes and fighting in some ritual was pasted on the ropes with the resin of finely crushed glass to get even more deadly blows.
The meetings were, from athletes weighing very different, on the bare ground without a ring, and lasted, with interruptions, until hors de combat or abandonment of one of the two contenders: the real sport like martial arts fighter! All this technical baggage, along with training methodologies more modern, has recently been reorganised by experts in the Thai Ministry of Education for the purpose of defence staff and is called muay boran.
The modern technique
Since the fighting to the death until today, muay thai was sport and the passion of all the Thai people, as well as his art of military combat, with the passage of years, however, has continued to evolve , adapting to changes in society.
Discipline school until 1920, then was removed from teaching in schools for the high number of accidents that occur during training. That is why the Thai boxing underwent another major change in 1930, when the government intervened forcing the various regional bodies to adopt regulations similar to that of western boxing, introducing the ring, the weight categories for combatants and the use of rokavice (following the development process that had followed a boxing naked fists in Europe and the United States).
With the new regulations, and especially with the introduction of combat rokavice also weighing derisory four ounces, the techniques of Western boxing, certainly the best when wearing gloves, had great development; projections hip, blows to the head and kicked all'inguine (not ginocchiate) were banned. Techniques such as lethal blows with their fingers in the eyes and throat, is no longer usable because of rokavice and levers most dangerous (such as the spine) remained in the version of martial muay thai, the above mentioned muay boran.
The Thai soldier is obviously must know and practice Thai boxing and, in so doing, the art that was born from the battlefield, then return. Having But the military medium cope with commitments of various types, in addition to the sport, to avoid periods of forced rest due to accidents during the practice, experts combat the Thai armed forces brevettarono introducing protections in and sporting competitions, in particular, added rokavice paratibie of leather, a helmet and a padded bodice, with minimal risk of injury. From a practical necessity developed later, around the'80s, a real alternative form of tender and without any protection (apart from the boxing gloves): this form of competition was called amateur muay thai and currently represents the form of Thai fighting style practiced in most world.
