Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) can trace it's origins 2,000 years ago to the ancient and nomadic tribes that wandered through Central and South-East Asia.
Eventually they settled in the part of the world known now as Thailand and, being forced to defend themselves against their neighbours, developed a system of warfare which included Krabi-Krabong (traditional weapons) and Muay Chao Chur from which the sport of Muay Thai later evolved.
Both systems of combat proved effective in countless battles. During the periods of peace the soldiers would fight for sport, and it was from this era that the modern sport of Muay Thai evolved. Muay Thai is world-renowned for its simplicity and devastating effectiveness. The art dubbed 'the science of eight limbs' for its amazing use of hands, legs, knees and elbows.
