Thai Boxing History

No one knows precisely when or how Muay Thai developed, as records go back only 700 years (while estimates of its age go back 2,000, originating in what is now China). But it is clear that it is the sport of kings, used, according to the Chiang Mai annals, in 1411, when King Sen Muajng Ma died and his two sons literally fought to "the first blood" for the throne. I time, every soldier trained in Muay Thai (as they still do today) and some of the kings of the Ayutthaya period were hailed as champions.
