Every major festival that is, there are set up a program of martial arts choreography, the wind has been extremely popular. Here is what I have organized:. For your reading!

The first use of "unarmed" martial arts, and then gradually changed to the use of leather wrapped fists, known as the "fist armor" style, and later developed into a "hemp wrapped style", that is, the "fist armor" style. Wrapped hemp style", that is, with coarse hemp wrapped around the fist and wrist, the surface of the fist is more solid and rough. More lethal. Wrapped hemp type fist, for hundreds of years, has been the representative image of Muay Thai, until the thirties of this century, only began to introduce the western boxing gloves, called "through the sleeve type". For Muay Thai later to the world to lay the foundation.

Ancient Muay Thai boxing and moves, is the later generation of boxing according to historical records and visit the north and south of many masters gradually organized. Many of these moves no longer exist in the modern Muay Thai ring. Because modern Muay Thai focuses more on power and simple and practical fighting style. The technical complexity of the pseudo-movement gradually abandoned without using, can not be said to be a pity. Ancient Muay Thai's basic technical action *** there are twelve styles, its Thai translation and explanation are as follows:

Trespassing on the right side of the main left fist in front of the right palm in the back, according to the left side of the main strike is the opposite.

Thai boxing horse step name "Sanguan step", the so-called horse step, is the "fist pile" together with the overall implementation of the footwork. The basic boxing step is the eight-way moving step, which moves in and out and sideways in the direction of the compass.

The Sangong step is a basic pattern of moving in and out along a triangular route due to its diagonal triangular step pattern. This technique can be said to be the essence of the Muay Thai technique, which can be used for attack and defense, and is not the only one that can be used in any way. In practice, the three palace steps have very unique techniques to adapt to the environment and the needs of the situation:

Dot-drop step: stilts the foot to enter, lifting the knee for the up and down to cover the step. The movement is light and natural, the same as the false step.

Covering Steps: When using the Dot-Drop Steps to confuse the opponent, the foot of the false suspension is put down, either in front or behind. It is a good way to spin around and make a move.

Easy: using the movement of the feet, suddenly change direction, is a surprise to confuse the enemy to melt their attacks move step method.

Three palace steps of the single hanging horse style, seems to be frivolous, in fact, the subtlety of Muay Thai unique. This style can be political can be defended, the enemy attacked, can be used to kick the foot of the enemy's front foot to curb its attack, repeat the back leg hit, said "check the military". If the initiative to attack, the virtual foot can stomp the enemy's dantian, with a fist or leg continuous attack, called the "punch". A more important feature is that when the three palace steps are activated, the spirit and qi can be united to enhance the belief. Thai traditional myths have depicted the Sangongbu as a magic technique to subdue the devil.

Previous generations of boxers emphasized the strategic efficacy and artistry of the horse step. The more profound help boxing step, there are "tiger step", "lion step" and so on. Famous Muay Thai masters change Songcha said, in the Rama VI Royal Palace before a boxing match, there are kung fu to the boxer, just started boxing. The opponent will be scared of the body soft, vision panic, before the battle has been defeated. It can be seen that a high skill boxer set out boxing stakes impeccable, moving quickly, showing absolute conviction, enough to make the opponent to win the ambition to collapse.
