Thai Bare-Knuckle Boxing is one of the partially lost areas of Muay Boran; this happened partly due to the use of rope wraps, which increased the damage with knots but also protected and stabilized the hand, and mainly due to the implementation of gloves and the hybridization with British boxing in the 20th century. Fragments of Thai bare-knuckle boxing are scattered all over the 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, filling in the missing pieces, and reorganizing the repertoire. I've researched Bare-Knuckle Boxing from around the world, and the more I deepened the topic, the more things clicked in my mind; the fragments of Thai Bare-Knuckle Boxing started linking together like a puzzle, and everything made sense. The missing pieces were primarily found in British Bare-Knuckle Boxing, the old Thai and British arts wonderfully blended, enriching each other toward progress.
This reconstructed system was coherent and effective; it became part of the Modern-Traditional 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 with the sole purpose of creating a system that can make you the most effective version of yourself in Bare-Knuckle Fighting.
