Bare-Knuckle Boxing in Muay Boran Nam: Extended Edition

The Secrets of Thai Bare-Knuckle Boxing Revealed! A formerly lost devastating art designed for Thai soldiers to fight in the absence of weapons and hand protectors. This area of Muay Thai Boran has been reconstructed, enriched with worldwide knowledge of Bare-Knuckle Boxing, and scientifically refined. This instructional manual teaches you how to annihilate your enemies barehanded.

Thai Bare-Knuckle Boxing is one of the partially lost areas of Muay Boran; its fragments are scattered all over the various Muay Boran styles. What is missing is a coherent system that encloses all the tools, separates them from those working only with gloves, and explains when, where, and how you should use them in a logical and effective way.

In the last years, I worked to reconstruct the art by enclosing the fragments found in the following Muay Boran styles; Muay Korat, Muay Chaiya, Muay Lopburi, Muay Thasao, Muay Phraya Pichai, Muay Chumphon, Muay Chaisawat, Muay Nawarach, Muay Lertrit, Thaiyuth, Muay Phra Chao Seua, and the Muay from the most ancient manuscript ever found.

Then I filled in the missing pieces by researching Bare-Knuckle Boxing from all over the world, and they were primarily found in British Bare-Knuckle Boxing. Lastly, I reorganized the repertoire, and this reconstructed system was coherent and effective; it became part of the hybrid style of Muay Boran that I founded called Muay Nam.

You will find an approach that mediates between the technicality of traditional martial arts with their no-hold-barred system, without regulations and protections, and the practicality of Combat Sports with their rational and scientific approach in a controlled environment. I combined the best of both to create a system that will make you the most effective as possible in Bare-Knuckle Fighting.

Furthermore, you will discover the Croydon Practical Boxing System founded by the legendary coach Chris Price. It was developed in the 1980s to survive the frequent multiple-opponent fights and knife attacks in Croydon, it was one of the first Modern-Traditional Combat Systems and profoundly influenced Muay Nam.
