What dance did Muay Thai dance before the war?

Thais believe in Buddhism. In the Thai boxing competition, the contestants must have a prayer ceremony before the competition. When they entered the stage, they all wore battle suits and walked into the stage with the music. Participants wear sacred rings, which is called "looking for a job" in Thai. When the athletes enter the stadium, they cross their hands to salute the audience. Then, the band next to the ring played "Battle Hymn" and sounded the drums and horns. This is Thai music, and the musical instruments are mainly flute, drum and jingle. Boxers dance and pray to the sky. Because teachers and factions are different, the forms of prayer are different. Some knelt with their heads buried and prayed silently. Some ichalky show the audience the bodybuilding figure and martial arts posture; Some hands cover their faces and remain silent; Some hands crossed on their foreheads and turned in circles. Because this ceremony is sacred, all the contestants are serious. Pray to heaven, pray to ancestors, and you will succeed. The whole ceremony was very grand.
