Summary:
Muay Thai is considered the cultural sport of Thailand. Scholars have debated much of its history over the years. A Burmese attack on Siam’s capital city in the fourteenth century, where most of the written account was kept, was destroyed by the invading army. The small part that was left is now curated in small volumes and held as part of Thailand’s sacred text and cultural heritage. This discipline is known for dynamic and brutal moves alongside great conditioning and cardio.
