My Top 5 Favorite Martial Arts
5. Muay Boran
Before Muay Thai, the monks and warriors of Thailand trained by way of Muay Boran. Most of the techniques were inscribed on temple walls in much the same way as Egyptian hieroglyphics. Muay Boran is most assuredly the basis for Muay Thai with the trademark elbows, knees and clinch all utilized in the style.
