Muay Thai Boxing may look like one of the most grueling and devastating sports known to man, however with the proper training and discipline one can become disciplined and actually control anger with this martial arts style fighting.
A long time ago when Muay Thai Boxing first started in ancient Thailand, fights were to the death or near death and back then it was not considered a sport and therefore did not have any rules, protective gear or rounds as such. It has been like this for for a very long time up until only around half a century ago when muay thai boxing gained popularity and became know worldwide and rules were added including fighters having to wear muay thai shorts and muay thai gloves.
Unlike classic Boxing, Muay Thai Boxing also includes the use of knees, kicks and elbows which can be used to attack or defend against opponents. The fighters are allowed to use their legs to kick and knee opponents, in training often wearing shinguards and head protectors to guard themselves or ankle guards and in real fights boxing gloves are compulsory.
While the form is the same for almost every short, there are numerous patterns to choose from when looking at muay thai shorts. All shorts sport a wide and strong elastic waistband that will hold the short in place no matter how frantic a fight gets. The ability to allow leg movement and strong fabric are characteristics of muay thai shorts as bouts are often dominated by high fast kicking and leg movements.
When training in the sport of Muay Thai Boxing, every fighter will wear a muay thai short by either Twins Special, Windy, Raja Boxing or Top King. Nowadays, there are web-shops all over the internet that can provide buyers or gym owners with muay thai shorts as they are mostly located in Thailand and able to ship worldwide.
While in the beginning Muay Thai Boxing was predominantly practiced by men, nowadays there are many female boxers actively training the art of muay thai because it contributes to a better bodily strength and also builds up your mental toughness.
The clothing female fighters wear is the same as men but women also wear t-shirts in addition. Due to the design of a muay thai short it is not necessary to manufacture shorts especially for women as all shorts are unisex and both men and women require leg and movement freedom alike.
Anyone can choose from a large number of designs or design the muay thai shorts themselves. There are tigers or dragons which represent power and when you design your own shorts you can choose any symbol you like. When working on a custom design, there is no limit for creative fighters and hence many funny shorts can be seen in the rings. - 30300
