Muay Thai Stuff’s Blog

This video is actually not Muay Thai fight. It’s a kind of traditional sport games and use “Muay” to compete. It’s called “Muay Ta Lae”, which “Ta Lae” means the ocean. The rule of this game is very simple, both of competitor have to use “Muay” to make the opponent fall down to the water. This game is really not intend or focus on the fight result (because competitors not actually fight) but just for entertainment. Muay Ta Lae is very popular game for many of special occasion or festival. I picked this video to present to you because just want to say that the art of “Muay” and “Fighting” is every where in Thailand (as you may have seen young kids start to learn Muay Thai when they are only 11-12 years old) , but in many form and characteristics, even for amusement games competition, so that’s why Thai people and Muay Thai are always together and it is one of the reason why Thai fighters are doing excellent performance in international arena.
