MUAY BORAN

The Original Art of Muay Thai

Muay Boran is the traditional foundation of Muay Thai, taught through a structured system of techniques, language, and cultural understanding.

At Sittiphong Muay Thai in Pai, Thailand, you are not just training — you are entering a recognized Muay Boran system connected to Bangkok and international schools.

WHAT IS MUAY BORAN?

Muay Boran (โบราณ = “ancient”) is the original Thai martial art used before modern Muay Thai became a sport.

It includes:

  • Elbows, knees, clinch

  • Headbutts

  • Eye attacks

  • Joint breaks and bone control

  • Throws and off-balancing

  • Close-range combat strategies

Unlike sport Muay Thai, Muay Boran focuses on:

Control, precision, and real-world application
