There are many martial arts that greatly improve one’s physical strength and conditioning. It’s also true that with time, the discipline deepens and thus a practitioner becomes well versed with his chosen field. However, it’s also a fact that in the field of mixed martial arts, MUAY THAI has his own place. It is very imminent because of the present trend in mixed martial arts. More and more people are gaining wind of how deadly a versed MUAY THAI practitioner is when he enters the ring.


MUAY THAI was developed in Thailand. It is their national sport. Children at young ages are encouraged to engage in training. In the said art, a practitioner is developed to utilize his knees, elbows, arms and legs as medium to hit an opponent. Of course, this fits perfectly in the field of contact sports. Mainly because of the fact that in contact sports, such a wide range of attacks can be very unorthodox.  It cannot be easily read when it comes to competing. It cannot be easily mimicked. When one is active in MMA, it’s very important to have a solid base in martial arts. It may be judo or karate. The point is, having a background on what contact sports is. But when one is a MUAY THAI practitioner, the physical conditioning and the physical capability is already a given. It’s true that all martial arts has their own set of tedious and neck breaking routines. But MUAY THAI has an edge compared to others. Whatever way we look at things. It’s very evident that the said discipline gives a mixed martial artist a leverage when a competition arises.
