if muay thai was developed for the battlefield how come there is no ground fighting along with the unarmed and armed techniques?

There are some ground techniques in Muay Thai, the art.. not in the ring. Also, ground fighting isn't emphasized on the battlefield because if you spend too much time on the ground, you'll get trampled by horses or stabbed by an enemy other than the one you are grappling with. Muay Thai was developed from Krabi Kabrong and the battlefield.

Ken is 100% right,Krabi Krabong was fought with weopons which is more for the battleground,muay thai was more for the soldies to train amongst and compete with each other without too much injury.

 

I personally wouldn't want to be grappling on a battlefield with a bunch of guys with swords and knives.

 

Alot of double sword or stick play with the kicks mainly to push your opponent back to get a good shot with your blade.

 

Most Martial arts are from the development of war,either protection or attack.
