Muaythai Today…
Muaythai is a way of life and as a sport, new venues, fighters and spectators are evolving at a fast pace. The sport is revolutionary in many ways as its globalisation attracts a worldwide following and puts it on the path towards being recognised as an Olympic sport.

Muaythai is acknowledged to be the oldest known form of kickboxing. It’s the primary building block of kickboxing, and a vital skill for mma fighters to have in their repertoire.

Muaythai is the national sport of Thailand and has become one of the most popular combat sports in the world today. This is also thanks to the rising popularity of mma -  the fastest growing sport in the past 10 years.

The huge popularity of MMA has resounding benefits for Muaythai as a sport as it opened doors to new fans who otherwise wouldn’t have known about Muaythai - Muaythai was bound to attract a new generation of viewers and fighters from many disciplines in combat sports, not to mention all sorts of business.

Muaythai continues to grow and there is only one way to go and that, my friends, is forward. The many governing and sanctioning bodies, the media and the professional community that all support Muaythai have been instrumental in bringing this amazing spectacle into our homes and arenas, firmly establishing Muaythai as a bonafide sport as it hits the mainstream. 

More and more big-name events are being staged all over the world, regional competitions are increasing and popularity levels are at an all-time high for both male and female fighters, who now enjoy the lifestyle and stardom their skills and capabilities bring them. 

“The road to the top will get more difficult to achieve. The next generation is already preparing. They will have a more diverse skill set -  more ring and mma experience in cross training and as the game continues to evolve strategy will likely improve as well.”

Endorsement deals, movies, books, TV shows and apparel brands are being born as we speak. New trends are shaping Muaythai and new generations are being introduced to the sport every day.

More competitions are providing our fighters with the opportunity to test their skills and ability. Spectators are increasing as they choose to be entertained by technically skilled fighting.  For now, our trainers and fighters are preparing for the Queen’s Cup Celebrations in Thailand.

The highly anticipated SportAccord Combat Games in Beijing follow with the World Championships in November.  The jewel in the crown is the annual King’s Cup, which attracts more than 300,000 spectators to the sport all over Thailand. The event is a magnet for the most celebrated fighters from around the world, invited to the special event held in honour of His Majesty, the King of Thailand’s birthday on December 5, and showcasing the finest athletes from Muaythai today.
