an ancient martial/warrior's art to protect the Cambodia/Khmer Empire and used as a fighting sport for entertainment, but now has been mislabel as muay thai as a marketing ploy to try give credit to Thailand instead of Cambodia (the Khmers).

Get the Muay Thaimug. Muay Thai is a very close quarters art, using a lot of knees and elbows, usually in which either one or both fighters end up with fucked up faces.
Taekwondo fighter: *does some fancy ass kick*
Muay Thai fighter: *simply blocks and throws an overhand right and a knee to the face and knocks him clean the fuck out*

Get the Muay Thaimug. an unarmed combative scheme from Asia that seems to work, and is all very well and good for, lightweight pencil necks against the same for opponents. Run into a 200 lb. monster with a neck like a dock pile, and it all seems to just quit working.
Ditto for guns...

Muay Thai punches and My Tais have one thing in common... They both hit like freight trains when used properly...

Get the Muay Thaimug. An unarmed Combative scheme developed seemingly for thugs from money and privilege to be used in resistance to arrest by law enforcement... Not to mention as a tool of intimidation in the act of bullying...
Before Peter Sheard got expelled from school, he was the worst bully in school and his favourite tool was a here to fore unknown "martial art" known by the name Muay Thai...

Get the muay thai beatmug. A martial art that is all very well and good until you face anyone more than 30 pounds heavier than you, at which point your speedy light blows happen to be useless, and you will have your ass reamed.
