MUAI - Applications for elbow techniques

Here are some applications for elbow techniques, filmed somewhere around 1996 in Berlin, Germany. MUAI is a traditional standup fighting method from Thailand, that should not be confused with Muay Thai, Muay Boran or regional styles (such as Muay Chaiya, Muay Korat and many more). It derived directly from Ling Lom (unarmed Pahuyuth, actually used in warfare) and is the oldest and probably the most conclusive of all Muay styles. Due to its unique origin MUAI not only includes techniques, that have become illegal in sports, but also many techniques, tricks and tactics that were never used in competition. In compare to the relatively new “Boran“ (ancient) one could very well describe MUAI as “Duekdammban“ (prehistoric). Today MUAI is taught for self-defense or security reasons and for the preservation of cultural heritage. To learn more about PAHUYUTH, please visit:
