Muay Thai Boran

Students choosing to attend the Muay Boran (“Ancient Boxing”) course will be instructed by Kru Mam on both the practical and theoretical aspects of the martial art that is the ancestor to modern Muay Thai.

Muay Boran contains a number of regional styles, such as Muay Chaiya, Muay Korat, Muay Lopburi, and Muay Thasao. Although an ancient style, Muay Boran is still widely practiced in Thailand, and it was featured extensively in the popular Hollywood movie Ong Bak.

This has led to a sudden interest in this martial art, which focuses on fast, hard attacks, and an economy of energy. Every attack is looked at in terms of its payoff of physical damage for energy used. As a result, knees and elbows play a large part in Muay Boran, as they are capable of inflicting serious damage with minimum output.

In the 1930s, Muay Thai came about as the result of a more formalized system of Muay Boran, which integrated many ideas from Western boxing. Most notably, Muay Thai fighters wear gloves instead of the traditional hemp wrapping around the fingers and wrists used in Muay Boran and are subject to a fairly dense array of rules.

During the practical part of the Sitjemam Muay Boran course, students will learn the different ancient regional striking/defense positions, stances and footwork of Muay Boran. Special attention will be granted to the theoretical aspects of the martial art, where students will be taught about the historical/cultural/traditional facets of Muay Boran, including different ways of hand-wrapping and various styles of ‘Wai Kru’ (a ritual dance performed by boxers before a fight to pay respect to the teachers).

Students will also learn how to create the traditional ‘Mogkon’ and ‘Phrajaed’. Worn on the fighter’s head to bring prosperity and good fortune while warding away danger and injury, the Mogkon represents the spirit and strength of the gym and its master instructor. The Phrajaed is worn on the arms of the boxer to bring luck and protect the boxer from injury.

This training is conducted online. Sitjemam Muay Thai is based in Mae Hong Son, Thailand (GMT+7) and they will live-stream the classes via Zoom which you can participate in from the comfort of your home by just using your phone or computer.
