Hi Joe

 

One of the earliest documented Muay Thai events was the famous challenge between the Thai Naikhanomthom & a team of fighters from Burma - this was in 1774.

 

Muay Thai can be traced back to the Ayuthaya dynasty in Siam (Now Thailand) which ran from 1350 to 1767. Quite old :grin:

There are three branches of old Muay Thai: Muay Chaiya, Muay Koraad, and Muay Lopburi(heard there is only one teacher left).

 

Old styles teachers get paid next to nothing..beside there is no support from thai government at all. I think that's why no one seems to interest in older stuffs.

 

Compared to the old styles, those Nuk Muay in Lumpini or Ratcha dum nern are just a bunch of clowns.

 

There are many styles in Thailand that are derived from combining MuayThai,Tai chi, Shaolin, Karate,Judo and blah blah blah....(one of them is called Tai Fu Do).

 

Yes it is a shame these styles are dying! My friend has been to Thailand several times to research and train in the old style. The lack of interest and dedication to maintain the art by the new generation will make these arts extinct. There are a few people still training but not like the old days.

 

Although I love Chinese martial art the most,

 

but I do think old style of Muaythai is powerful indeed!
