A Final Word
A Final Word: The above descriptions are basic and intended only as a guideline. There are many small variations to the techniques and styles depending upon the trainer, where he comes from and who his teachers were. Each fighter will have his strength and weakness; some will have strong high kicks where as another may be powerful in the clinch with good knees.
In any Martial Art there are qualities required to succeed. Dedication, Patience, and Respect are certainly among them- dedication to apply the lessons given, patience to await the rewards of your perseverance and respect for your fellow boxers, whose advice, however simple, is for your benefit. Training in Muay Thai is hard work and no one is going to force you into the ring so no one can force you to train, the discipline must come from yourself to achieve a level of proficiency.
More detailed descriptions of technique and tactics can be found in the WMTC (World Muay Thai Council) monthly "Muay Thai Magazine", published by "D-SPAM Group Co. Ltd. (WMTC) 1213/12 Town In Town Soi 2, Lardpraow 94, Wandtonglang, Bangkok"
This web site is a modest guide for those interested in practicing any form of Martial Art; the advice and ideas apply to both novice and pro. Martial Arts is a life long study and whether starting at fifty or fifteen there is something for everyone in Muay Thai or which ever style you chose.
Comments, suggestions and questions are welcome.
Good luck to all in Muay Thai.
