Title: The Wai Khru - Ram Muay (thai boxing dance)
Added: Mar 13, 2007
Author: goranswe
Duration: 1:27
Description:
The Wai Kru (respects to the teacher) also known as Ram Muay (boxing dance) is an important part of any evening watching Thai Boxing. These are ceremonies that are performed before each Muay Thai bout. Sometimes the Wai Kru are brief and basic, but other times they may be eloquent performances that draw praise and applause from the crowd. It is said that those who see well can determine who will win the fight by watching two fighters perform their Wai Kru. Teachers are highly respected in Thai society, and many artistic disciplines, not just Muay Thai, perform Wai Kru or "respects to the teacher". Foreigners viewing these rituals should take care to be polite and not act disrespectfully regarding the Wai Kru. The Thais take seriously any insult to the Wai Kru, just as you would if somebody insulted your spiritual beliefs.

Sep 27, 2010 - The Wai Khru/Ram Muay is a ritual every fighter has to perform before fighting to honor his trainer. During the Wai Khru, the fighter has to wear the traditional headgear called Mongkol or Mongkon. During training only Ajarns (trainers) may wear the Mongkol. The fighters also wear armbands called Prajead which are lucky charms but today often serve to display a fighters rank in his gym too. Muay Thai is about being respectful, humble and honorable, not about beating people up!

Jan 7, 2011 - To elaborate more: The Wai Khru symbolizes respect for the gym, the teacher, and the Buddah. Alot of Thai fans believe they can determine the winner of the fight based upon who performs better in the Wai Khru. Alot of the moves you see come from the ancient style of Muay Thai called Muay Boran and were used for intimidating their enemies on the battlefield. The Pra Jiads worn around the arms are believed to protect the fighter from harm. Being trained by a thai fighter, you learn alot.

Mar 8, 2011 - Coming from BJJ and some stand up at a MMA gym, and before that sport Taekwondo as a kid. I decided that MMA stand up was not the TRUE MuayThai, MMA stand up is effective, but I like the history of martial arts more than the effectiveness... Muay Thai and other styles like it in south east Asia have a LONG history, it's something you cannot find in you MMA gym. That's why I'm gonna train at a Muay Thai gym that is opening in like 2 weeks!!! =D
