It is essential that you wear Muay Thai shin guards if you are starting Thai boxing. Of all the martial arts Thai boxing is particularly aggressive. Modern MMA uses a large number of Thai boxing techniques because they are so powerful.

Brief History of Thai Boxing

The name means "The Science of Eight Limbs" because it uses many points of contact including punches, elbows, knees and kicks. This is why it is so dangerous and why Thai boxing equipment such as head guards and muay Thai shin guards need to be worn at all times while training.

It is hard to put an exact date from where the martial art dates back to as it has evolved slowly over the last 2000 years. Like most martial arts, it was introduced as a form of unarmed combat for when the soldiers lost their weapons in battle. Thailand's first boxing ring was made in 1921. Although they did were boxing gloves for fights, after a death in the ring it was decided that fighters should also were covers for the feet and ankles as well and the first kind of Muay Thai shin pads were introduced.

Getting Started in MMA and Martial Arts

Like all contact sports there is a high level of fitness required and Thai boxing puts a particularly heavy focus on conditioning. If you were looking to get started, a typical session could include skipping, weight training, shadow boxing, focus mitt work and some cases sparring.

Thai Boxing would be an excellent choice if you were looking for an effective martial art and you want to protect yourself. It is also a great choice if you would like to get fit and toned fast. With all the Cardio and bag work it is easy to get in shape very quickly and over time it will take you to new levels of fitness.

Muay Thai Equipment

Ultimate Warrior Workouts : Fitness Secrets of the Martial Arts $20.15 No Synopsis Available

Martial Arts and Philosophy $21.95 Socrates, an Athenian soldier, was a calmly efficient killing machine. His student Plato was an accomplished and broad-shouldered wrestler. Martial arts and philosophy have always gone hand in hand, as well as fist in throat. Philosophical argument is closely parallel with hand-to-hand combat. And all of today’s Asian martial arts—like Karate, Kung-Fu, Judo, or Aikido—were developed to embody and apply philosophical ideas. The Japanese martial tradition of Budo, for instance, was influenced by the three philosophical traditions of Shinto, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism, and these philosophies are still taught in Japanese martial arts schools all across the world. As Damon Young explains in his chapter, the Japanese martial arts customs of courtesy are derived from Shinto purity, Confucian virtues, and the loving brutality of Zen. In his interview with Bodidharma (included in the book), Graham Priest brings out aspects of Buddhist philosophy behind Shaolin Kung-Fu—how fighting monks are seeking Buddhahood, not brawls. But as Scott Farrell’s chapter reveals, Eastern martial arts have no monopoly on philosophical traditions. Western chivalry is an education in and living revival of Aristotelian ethical theories. The Western martial art of fencing is explored by Nick Michaud, who looks at the morality of selfishness in fencing, and Christopher Lawrence and Jeremy Moss, who try to pin down what makes fencing unique: is it the sword, the techniques, the footwork, the aristocratic aura, or something else? Jack Fuller argues that his training in Karate was an education in Stoicism. Travis Taylor and Sasha Cooper reveal the utilitarian thinking behind Jigoro Kano’s Judo. Kevin Krein maintains that the martial arts are a reply to the existentialist’s anxiety about the meaninglessness of life. Patricia Peterson examines Karate’s contribution to feminism, and Scott Beattie analyzes the role of space in the martial arts school. Joe Lynch pits the Western ideas of Plato against the Eastern ideas of the Shaolin monks. Bronwyn Finnigan and Koji Tanaka uncover the meaning of human action as it appears in Kendo. Rick Schubert explains the meaning of mastery in the fighting arts. Moving to ethical issues, Tamara Kohn discovers what we owe to others in Aikido. Chris Mortensen questions whether his own Buddhist pacifism is compatible with being a martial artist. In different ways, Gillian Russell and John Haffner and Jason Vogel assess the ways in which martial arts can morally compromise us. How can the sweaty and the brutal be exquisitely beautiful? Judy Saltzman looks into the curious charm of fighting and forms, with help from Friedrich Nietzsche.
