Prajied

Prajied

Muay Thai Prajied

The Prajied is an armband worn by a Muay Thai fighter, throughout the whole of their fight. The characteristics of this armband vary from fighter to fighter, but in general, it is red and white and worn around the bicep. It is cloth and is meant to protect the fighter from danger and injury throughout the whole of the fight. It carries many of the same characteristics of the Mongkon, except that the Mongkon has to be removed before the fight and the Prajied is worn the entire time.

Sarama

Sarama Muay Thai Music

The music that accompanies both the Ram Muay and the Muay Thai match itself is called sarama. This kind of music is generally played by four musicians, often live, as the music should follow the excitement of the fight. It can also become more intense to encourage the fighters to attack one another. This music is part of the Muay Thai tradition and is played before, during, and after every fight.

Muay Thai Equipment Manufacturers in Thailand

Muay Thai Equipment Manufacturers in Thailand

The best manufacturers from Thailand

You cannot go wrong by purchasing Muay Thai gear from the company that has named itself Muay Thai. Few westerners have heard of this brand, unless they are heavily involved in the Thailand Muay Thai circuit, as the products are not marketed abroad, despite their extremely high-quality design and production.

If you have ever seen a Muay Thai bout, you have probably seen at one of the fighters wearing a headband. This is called the Mongkon, and is a traditional part of any fighter’s in-ring clothing.

Wai Khru Ram Muay

Wai Khru Ram Muay

Ram Muay

Wai Khru Ram Muay sometimes called just Wai Khru or Ram Muay, is an essential and very important part of every Muay Thai boxer’s training and competition ritual. Designed to show respect to the trainers and teachers who have given their knowledge to their students but also used as a way to show remorse for the violence involved in boxing when it was performed in front of a king or other ruler, it continues today as a show of respect and as a demonstration of a fighter’s style and skills before the match even begins.

Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium

Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium

Rajadamnern Stadium

Since its inception, Muay Thai has sought a central home, a place where fighters and promoters can gather, a place to help spread the sport abroad. While those involved in the sport have always found somewhere to box, they did not have a real home in Bangkok until 1941. This was when Rajadamnern Stadium began construction. Since that time, it has been the home of Muay Thai, not just in Bangkok, but for the entire world.

Heavy Bag Work

Heavy Bag Work

The Heavy Bag

To get the most benefit from the heavy bag you must be alive yourself, use your imagination, circle it, move in, move out, move from side to side (moving should not be a pre-conceived plan), practice bobbing, weaving, feinting, slip punches. You have to spar with the bag as if you are fighting an imaginary opponent. Always remember to keep your guard up and do not forget about footwork.
