Description Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand and a traditional martial art that excites audiences around the world. Although Muay Thai was originally a combat art developed for national defense, as peace prevailed it became over time a type of festive entertainment enjoyed by many. Muay Thai fighters train to manifest cosmic energy through body movements known as yantra and perform a ritual called wai khru before fights to express their gratitude to their instructors. This video shows the true meaning of Muay Thai and the spirit of the Thai people through aspects of Muay Thai training.
