About Nak Muay Rising: 1
On Saturday 8th October we hosted a Muay Thai Amateur Fight Event at The Fighting Arts Academy.
What is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai is known as the “Art of 8 limbs” because it makes use of 8 points of contact namely, punches, elbows, knees and kicks. This differs it from other stand-up combat sports such as boxing (2 points - fists). Muay Thai is a stand-up striking sport, with two competitors in the ring throwing punches, elbows, knees and kicks at each other. Clinching, sweeps and throws are also allowed. Besides the 8-point contact, a key difference between Muay Thai and many other stand-up combat sports is its emphasis on traditional elements such as the pre-fight dance ritual known as Wai Kru Ram Muay, the head dress (Mongkon) and the Sarama music that accompanies each fight.
Full Muay Thai Rules?
Opponents are matched across clubs, based on weight and experience. Decisions are based upon skill and not just power, making the fights themselves especially exciting and occasionally unpredictable (most of these fights will not allow elbows to keep less experienced fighters safe… but we do have some fights on the card where the full 8-limbs will be used!)
Is this event safe?
Muay Thai is a contact sport and as such there are inherent risks when training or competing. That said The Fighting Arts Academy prides it self on creating a safe and welcoming environment. For our all our combat sports events, A fully qualified Event Medical Doctor is on site at the event and appropriate insurance and health checks have been put in place. In addition Yoddecha Sityodtong has vast experience - having competed in over 350 full contact fights across the globe.
