I could not say that the quality of Muay Thai equipment has no direct impact to the achievement of the training or the competition result, because it does!! (at least in some ways, that will be described later in this article). The quality of equipment is the key element for learners and teachers to pay attention to. Some arguments have been mentioned is if I said so, why fighters in ancient time were so expert and acquired very high skills of Muay Thai even though there were no modern equipment at all. I would also agree with this objection because in the past, the purpose of Muay Thai is purely for martial arts as well as the art of killing when soldiers had to use the arts of Muay Thai to kill enemies. So the training in the past was completely about using weapons together with Muay Thai and also the format of training is completely different.

When the modern era of Muay Thai has arrived. It’s not for the battle anymore, but instead, it a kind of sport martial art. So what all people concern is about safety and this brings the public attention of the importance of Muay Thai equipment. Just like any other kind of sports that there must be some kind of equipments to maintain safety and Muay Thai is also one of them. Why we have to do hand wrapping, why we have to wear gloves etc. It is really obvious that using equipment concerns abut safety. But how this equipment related to the achievement of the training. This is quite simple and logical to answer that would you want to take any kind of sport training if you feel it is not safe for you? These equipments keep you be safe and be able to continue practice without severe injuries during the training and that’s why you have to focus on the quality of the equipment that you use as well.

While many of students focus on the lessons and there are millions of questions about how to improve skills and performance, the question about look fog good Muay Thai equipment seem rare in number and it seems to be the last thing that Muay Thai people ask for. I took part in many of Muay Thai forums and communities and also found that my assumption was true, but even though it this the last thing that people mention but I can confirm that equipment is one of the most important and you can not take good exercise to obtain skills without having good equipment.

In fact, the question about Muay Thai equipment is not only for learners but also many of coaches , trainers, owners of gyms and camps in the country where original Muay Thai equipments are hardly found and available in local area. For many of learners are advised about looking for personal basic Muay Thai equipment such as gloves, pad and other outfits like shorts (knees or elbows supports in some cases) that they can look around the shop in local area but sometimes it just does not work because it is difficult to find the shop that specially offer Muay Thai equipment.

This problem become even more serious for the country or region that Muay Thai is not very well recognized so the only way to get is to ask around or go to auction site and get some online stuff. There are also questions ask about the quality and the different between equipments from original local brand from Thailand and from international brand manufacturers. Many issues have been raised on quality, price, best value of money and of course that the benefits to your training.
