What Is Muay Thai?
Muay Thai, translated into English as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand and is a martial art with origins in the ancient battlefield tactics of the Siamese (or Thai) army. It evolved from Krabi Krabong, literally long and short weapons, the weapons tactics of the Thai army. The early Muay Thai bouts pitted different companies within the Siamese army against each other in unarmed combat (Muay Boran) with few rules and no weight divisions or time limits. They became quite popular and eventually were shown in stadia across the country. In the early 20th century, time limits, boxing gloves as well as a uniform set of rules were introduced. During the latter half of the 20th century Muay Thai was exported to many countries and is now practiced by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Muay Thai is known as “King of the Ring” in kickboxing circles. These fights feature punches, kicks, elbows, knees, standing grappling and head-butts to wear down and knock out their opponent. Thai training methods develop devastating power, speed and superb cardio-vascular endurance as well as fighting spirit. Muay Thai training is also quite safe thanks to sophisticated pad training that evolved to keep fighters healthy between fights. Muay Thai has also proven very effective outside the ring and has been embraced enthusiastically by practitioners of a variety of self-defense, sporting, military and law enforcement activities.

I began my Martial Arts training in 1983 in the Art Tang Soo Do, although my sister Jana was the first to show me some moves from Karate in the 1970's. In February 1988 I joined Progressive Fighting Arts Academy in Tulsa Oklahoma later to become Gibson's Martial Arts Academy under the late Sifu / Guro / Khun Khru Terry H. Gibson. In 1988 I also began my training under Guro / Ajarn Dan Inosanto, GM Ajarn Surachai Chai Sirisute, Sifu Paul Vunak, Tim Tacket, Sifu Francis Fong, Pak Herman Suwanda, Guro Paul De Thouars, in the 1990's I also trained with Coach / Ajarn Eric Paulson, Sifu / Ajarn Marc McFann in submission grappling & ground fighting, and shoot fighting.
