Muay Thai Gyms – Germany

During the origins of Muay Thai, it was developed and utilized as a way to turn the body into a weapon during times of close combat, minimising the need for heavy weapons such as daggers and swords. Throughout evolution of Thailand and with thanks to some of the later Kings and their own budding enthusiasm for Muay Thai and its practices, Muay Thai has become the national sport of Thailand and a piece of cultural heritage that is the favourite pastime of the people, the King and Thailand itself. As centennial years have passed and as the dawn of technology came upon us, Muay Thai has been thrusted into the limelight of Martial Arts and as such has become a global sensation that thousands want to be a part of. Spreading over both the Eastern and Western continents of the globe, Muay Thai is now a regulated, professional sport boasting fighters from nearly each corner of the earth. As the popularity for Muay Thai continued to grow and as more and more people became intrigued as to what Muay Thai was and then appealed when it was discovered to be a highly effective Martial Art form, Muay Thai has flooded into our cities and counties with local gyms, and schools in nearly every city.

One of the most illusive countries that like Thailand’s past has seen war, conflict and the training of arm’s in Martial Art forms, is Germany. Throughout the popularity spread of Muay Thai, Germany has become one of the renown Western countries for embracing and engaging with such a large part of Thai culture.

While the spreading of such an illustrious sport such as Muay Thai throughout the globe, is not as shocking as it could be in modern day life, the fact that the cultural sense of pride and historic honour has spread with the popularity of the sport and engrained itself into the cultures presented in these Western worlds is something quite remarkable indeed.
